Fig. 3: The effects of antidepressant treatment (medication and rTMS) on EC from mPFC to PCC within DMN in MDD patients.
From: Beyond depression symptoms: the default mode network as a predictor of antidepressant response
The violin figures show the distribution of mean EC from mPFC to PCC within DMN for MDD patients with a positive medication response: pre- versus post-treatment (A), for MDD patients with a negative medication response: pre- versus post-treatment (B), for MDD patients with a positive rTMS response: pre- versus post-treatment (C), and for MDD patients with a negative rTMS response: pre- versus post-treatment (D). Here, responders are identified as individuals exhibiting a reduction of 50% or greater on the HAMD-17 scale following the specific antidepressant treatment (positive response), while non-responders are those who do not meet this threshold (negative response). *p < 0.05.
