This project aims to use functional connectivity magnetic resonance imaging (fcMRI) to study patients with unipolar depression receiving TMS. Patients will be scanned before and after a full course of TMS and clinical measures for depression severity and memory will be obtained at the same times.The project has the following aims and hypothesis: (1) to determine the therapeutic antidepressant mechanism of action of TMS at the circuit level (2) to study the use of fcMRI as a state biomarker for depression (3) to study the use of fcMRI as a predictor of response for depression.
