The study will compare the efficacy of intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS) with DLPFC-pgACC personalized target for major depressive disorder (MDD) and explore possible brain network mechanisms. The stimulated targets will be located by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on functional MRI based on functional connectivity respectively. This study aims to identify that functional connectivity targeted iTBS protocols on DLPFC-pgACC personalized target have a better antidepressant efficacy compared the sham group and certify that pgACC is an effective potential effector target.
