结局指标

主要结局

Functional MRI (default mode network) - BOLD Signal

时间窗: Baseline, Week 1, Week 2

Blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal is a measurement used in fMRI, which reflects the neural activity.

MEP amplitude

时间窗: Week 2 (20 minutes post-TBS)

MEP (motor evoked potential) amplitude is a measure of corticospinal excitability.
