New Approach to Lessen Negative Symptoms in Schizophrenia is Based on Brain Circuit Discovery

TL:DR using fMRI, a brain scanning method, researchers were able to identify a specific brain circuit associated with negative symptoms, and found that increasing connectivity there, using a form of rTMS called iTBS, resulted in reductions in negative symptoms.

@far_cry0 I am sorry to hear about your health problems.

iTBS is intermittent theta burst and it’s a kind of rTMS that is available now in some places, it allows for short, 5 minute treatments instead of 20-30 minute treatments.

I’m glad the light therapy worked out for you. It looks very interesting, just not that much research in SZ.
