Combinatorial effects of multi-site stimulation on depression-related brain regions: clinical data analysis and predictive modeling (opens in new tab)

BackgroundDespite growing evidence supporting deep brain stimulation (DBS) for treatment- resistant depression (TRD), how stimulation delivered across hemispheres or across multiple targets interact to shape large-scale network activity remains poorly characterized.ObjectiveUsing a unique opportunity to simultaneously stimulate the subcallosal cingulate (SCC) and ventral capsule/ventral striatum (VC/VS) in subjects with TRD while recording neural activity across putative prefrontal networks u...
