Contralateral prefrontal and network engagement during left DLPFC 10 Hz rTMS: an interleaved TMS-fMRI study in healthy adults
Background
High-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) serves as an effective treatment for major depression and other psychiatric disorders. Despite its growing clinical application, the neural mechanisms by which prefrontal rTMS exerts its therapeutic effects remain incompletely understood. To address this gap, we investigated the immediate blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) activity during 600 stimuli of left DLPFC 10 Hz rTMS in healthy individuals using interleaved TMS-fMRI.
Methods
In a crossover design, 17 healthy subjects received 10 Hz rTMS (60 trains with 9-second intertrain intervals) over the left DLPFC at 40 % and 80 % of their resting motor threshold (rMT) inside the MR scanner.
Results
10 Hz rTMS over the left DLPFC elicited BOLD responses in prefrontal regions, cingulate cortex, insula, striatum, thalamus, as well as auditory and somatosensory areas. Notably, our findings revealed that 10 Hz rTMS effects were lateralized towards the contralateral (right) DLPFC. Dose-response effects between 40 % vs. 80 % rMT were exclusively observed in the hippocampus.
Conclusions
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.
期刊介绍:
NeuroImage: Clinical, a journal of diseases, disorders and syndromes involving the Nervous System, provides a vehicle for communicating important advances in the study of abnormal structure-function relationships of the human nervous system based on imaging.
The focus of NeuroImage: Clinical is on defining changes to the brain associated with primary neurologic and psychiatric diseases and disorders of the nervous system as well as behavioral syndromes and developmental conditions. The main criterion for judging papers is the extent of scientific advancement in the understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of diseases and disorders, in identification of functional models that link clinical signs and symptoms with brain function and in the creation of image based tools applicable to a broad range of clinical needs including diagnosis, monitoring and tracking of illness, predicting therapeutic response and development of new treatments. Papers dealing with structure and function in animal models will also be considered if they reveal mechanisms that can be readily translated to human conditions.
