Abstract

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a promising treatment option for severe refractory major depressive disorder (MDD) [1,2]. The most common neural targets for DBS in MDD are the subcallosal cingulate cortex (SCC) and the ventral capsule/ventral striatum (VC/VS) [3–5]. The long-term clinical response after DBS to these targets has been characterized as a gradual improvement in mood, with >40% of patients reaching a responder status by 1 year [3,4].

  • Non-response was reported in a recent case study of two patients despite following the same tractography-based targeting method.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
