A double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled parietal-hippocampal rTMS trial (five sessions/week for a total of 10 sessions) of mild-to-moderate AD patients was conducted in the study. High-frequency rTMS was applied to a subject-specific left lateral parietal region with the highest functional connectivity with the hippocampus based on resting-state fMRI. A multimodal MRI scan and a complete neuropsychological battery of tests were conducted at baseline, immediately after the intervention and 12-week follow-up after the rTMS treatment. Compared to sham treatment (n = 27), patients undergoing active rTMS treatment (n = 29) showed higher Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) score and dynamic functional connectivity (dFC) magnitude of the default mode network (DMN) after two weeks of rTMS treatment, but not at 12-week follow-up. A significant positive correlation was observed between changes in MMSE and changes in the dFC magnitude of DMN in patients who underwent active-rTMS treatment, but not in those who received sham-rTMS treatment. The findings of the current study indicate that fMRI-guided rTMS treatment improves cognitive function of AD patients in the short term, and DMN functional connectivity contributes to therapeutic effectiveness of rTMS. The neurobiology of the Major depressive disorder (MDD) with anxiety is still unclear. The present study aimed to explore the brain correlates of MDD with and without anxiety in men and women during resting-state fMRI. Two hundred and fifty-four patients with MDD (MDD with anxiety, N=152) and MDD without anxiety, N=102) and 228 healthy controls (HCs) participated in this study. We compared the fALFF(fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations) and ReHo(regio
