Randomized head-to-head TMS trial: medial prefrontal target produced larger anxiety drops than conventional DLPFC in comorbid depression

A phase 2 randomized trial (NCT04604210) found neuronavigated TMS to a dorsomedial prefrontal cortex target reduced anxiety more than a conventional left DLPFC target in patients with major depressive disorder and comorbid anxiety; both targets produced similar depression improvements.

Duke-led simulations show skull‑conforming flexible ultrasound arrays sharpen subcortical tFUS targeting

A Duke University simulation study (npj Acoustics, 30 Mar 2026) finds skull‑conforming flexible ultrasound arrays can produce smaller foci, higher peak pressure and lower sidelobes than a semi‑spherical array for ~4 cm subcortical targets; results come from MRI‑derived head models and are computational only.
