IF=6.6 | Brain stimulation over the left DLPFCenhances motivation for effortful rewards inpatients with major depressive disorder
New study with YINGCHI TMS.
Lack of motivation is one of the typical features in major depressive disorder, which is manifested by reduced willingness to make efforts. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) plays a key role in goal-directed behavior and is therefore a potential target for regulating effort motivation.
To explore the effects of TMS on the effort motivation and reward expectations of MDD patients and to further reveal the role of the left DLPFC in this process, Professor Zhang Dandan's team from the Institute of Brain and Psychological Sciences of Sichuan Normal University, in collaboration with YINGCHI, used TMS and ERP technology to provide neuroelectrophysiological evidence for TMS treatment of MDD and verified the potential effects and mechanisms of DLPFC in regulating motivation.
