Lay Description

This study will provide important information about brain organization in healthy subjects, and can optimize a treatment for Major Depressive Disorder. We will be using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (aka TMS), a safe, non-invasive method for firing neurons on the surface of the brain. First, we will perform a magnetic resonance image (MRI) of the brain to plan a “personalized” TMS treatment. During a second visit we will use Positron Emission Tomography (PET), alongside TMS, to stimulate and measure activations and connections in the brain.
