Cortical-subcortical structural connections support transcranial magnetic stimulation engagement of the amygdala

Valerie J. Sydnor, Matthew Cieslak, Romain Duprat, Joseph A. Deluisi, Matthew W. Flounders, Hannah Long, Morgan Scully, Nicholas L. Balderston, Yvette I. Sheline, Dani S. Bassett, Theodore Daniel Satterthwaite, Desmond J. Oathes

This study shows that transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) applied to the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC) modulates amygdala activity via cortical-subcortical connections, suggesting potential therapeutic applications for affective disorders.
