Neural connectivity biotypes: predictors of clinical outcomes and improvement patterns of iTBS treatment in adolescents and young adults with depression by Xiaoyu Chen, Min Zhang, Fan Zhang, Yanling Zhou, Yuping Ning, Roger S McIntyre, Hanna Lu, Haiyan Liu, Yiying Chen, Xiaofeng Lan, Chengyu Wang, Weicheng Li, Zhibo Hu, Siming Mai, Yanan Yin, Zerui You, Guanxi Liu, Zhanjie Luo, Yexian Zeng, Yifang Chen, Robin Shao

“…Within subgroup 1, the active group showed significantly greater improvement in symbol coding compared with the sham group (t=2.30, p=0.028), while baseline levels of interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein emerged as significant indicators for predicting improvements in symbolic coding (R2=0.35, RMSE (root-mean-square error)=5.72, p=0.013). Subgroup 2 showed no significant findings in terms of cognitive improvement or inflammatory cytokines predictions.Conclusions Data-driven network analyses offer valuable insights into iTBS treatment outcomes in depression, providing clues for predicting cognitive improvements from an inflammatory perspective.Trial registration number ChiCTR2100042346.…”
