Brief Summary: Autonomic regulation is disturbed in patients with major depressive disorder MDD indicated by a higher heart rate HR and lower heart rate variability HRV Moreover the heart seems to be functionally connected via the vagus nerve VN to other brain structures that are dysregulated in depression such as the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex sgACC and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex DLPFC suggesting dysregulated network function in MDD In line with this network dysregulation hypothesis of MDD optimal transcranial magnetic stimulation TMS sites are currently thought to be those that show functional connectivity to the sgACC such as the DLPFC and multiple studies have shown that stimulation of the DLPFC sgACC and nervus vagus decreased heart rate suggestive of parasymphatetic action It is hypothesized that this influence on parasympathetic activity can be used as a functional outcome measure reflecting adequate targeting of the DLPFC-sgACC network similar to the motor evoked potential MEP as functional key measure for primary motor cortex stimulation Recently a pilot study was conducted proposing a new functional neuronavigation method for localizing the frontal area representation of DLPFC-sgACC connectivity using HR called Neuro-Cardiac-Guided TMS NCG-TMS which is being replicated in the current study
