Abstract:
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique that allows modulating of the activity of local neural populations and related neural networks. TMS is thought as a viable intervention to normalize brain activity and alleviate some psychiatric symptoms. TMS interventions can provide distinct treatment targets for optimized TMS interventions by parsing broad diagnostic categories into biologically and clinically homogeneous biotypes and psychpatological dimensions. Personalizing cortical stimulation targets, treatment frequencies, and intensities can improve the therapeutic efficacy of TMS and potentially establish noninvasive brain stimulation as a viable treatment for psychiatric symptoms.
