Conditions
Summary
Depression is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, conferring substantial healthcare and societal costs. By studying methods to non-invasively target neural circuitry involved in reward responsivity, information generated by this project will improve understanding of the circuit alterations that underlie motivation and pleasure deficits in depression, and could also lead to the development of biologically-based markers of neurostimulation-based treatment response.

Interventions
Active Session: Single session of standard iTBS of 50Hz triplet bursts, 5 times each second with a 2 s on / 8 s off duty cycle for 600 pulses per hemisphere (1200 pulses total) will be applied for a total stimulation time of 6:40 minutes
Sham neurostimulation (SHAM) entails use of the sham side of the D-B80 A/P placed over the same anatomical target, without any active stimulation.
