Contralateral prefrontal and network engagement during left DLPFC 10 Hz rTMS: an interleaved TMS-fMRI study in healthy adults
The 10 Hz rTMS protocol used in this study induced distinct target engagement and propagation patterns in the prefrontal cortex. These patterns differ from our previous interleaved TMS-fMRI findings using 600 stimuli of left DLPFC intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) at the same intensities. Thus, interleaved TMS-fMRI emerges as a valuable method for comparing clinical prefrontal rTMS protocols regarding their immediate effect on brain circuits in order to differentiate their action mechanisms and to potentially inform clinical applications.
