Network neuroscience is becoming increasingly relevant to the clinical practice of TMS, but it is a large and complicated field that is impossible for a clinician to follow comprehensively. This lecture will provide a basic foundation of brain networks and describe general principles for how to recognize when a new development in this field is clinically useful.
At the end of this presentation participants will:
- Define specific brain networks currently involved in TMS targeting.
- Appraise new network-based TMS targets to determine when they are ready for clinical practice.
- Recognize which brain network studies are not clinically useful yet.

Speaker: Shan H. Siddiqi, MD
Dr. Siddiqi is an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, a neuropsychiatrist at Brigham & Women’s Hospital, and director of psychiatric neuromodulation research for the Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics. His research is focused on causal mapping of human brain function and dysfunction. Using techniques such as functional MRI, his lab maps brain circuits to link brain lesions and brain stimulation sites that can modify different psychiatric symptoms. These circuits can then be targeted with treatments such as TMS to alleviate symptoms in psychiatric disorders. His work has been recognized with multiple awards from the National Institute of Mental Health, the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, the American Neuropsychiatric Association, the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, Harvard Medical School, and many others.
