Historically, cerebellum TMS has not utilized functional neuroanatomy for targeting, and the precision of TMS to the cerebellum is unclear. A classical view of the cerebellum as solely involved in motor computations has been updated with the discovery of rich non-motor connectivity including the default, dorsal attention, frontoparietal control and ventral attention networks. We sought to assess cerebellar TMS magnetic field effect within individually defined networks of the cerebellum.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    Imaging data from schizophrenia and schizoaffective participants (n=27) in a double-blinded trial of cerebellar TMS (\n                    <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"clintrialgov\" xlink:href=\"NCT05343598\">NCT05343598<\/jats:ext-link>\n                    ) was used. Individualized resting-state connectivity fMRI maps of the cerebellum was computed for 7 canonical networks (Yeo et al 2011; Buckner et al 2011). Individualized TMS simulations were computed in SimNIBS with real-world participant-specific coil placement and intensity determination.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The peak stimulation effect (99th percentile) for each network in each participant was computed. The electric field induced by cerebellar TMS predominantly engaged specific functional networks more than others (p&lt;0.001), indicating selective targeting of these networks. The strongest effects were found on default (44.4%), limbic (37%) and frontoparietal control (11.1%) networks. Cerebellar brain network organization was found to be similar in the patient sample to previously published large-sample organization.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>For personalized TMS, it is important to consider the targeted network, as well as the potential off-target network effects. Our findings demonstrate that cerebellar TMS has the strongest field effect on non-motor, cognitive and affective networks within the cerebellum. These results suggest cerebellar TMS may be ideal for schizophrenia symptoms unaddressed by pharmacological treatments, and effects may vary by individual network topology.<\/jats:p>\n                <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.64898\/2025.12.19.25342404","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,23]],"date-time":"2025-12-23T00:35:12Z","timestamp":1766450112000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Personalization and network specificity of cerebellar TMS in schizophrenia"],"prefix":"10.64898","author":[{"given":"Emma","family":"Joncas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily","family":"Payne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eunice","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isabella","family":"Demo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Madelaine","family":"Nye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Virginie-Anne","family":"Chouinard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Moritz","family":"Dannhauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"Jr.","given":"Roscoe O.","family":"Brady","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark A.","family":"Halko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rujuta U","family":"Parlikar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"54368","reference":[{"key":"2025122406500756000_2025.12.19.25342404v1.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/jn.00339.2011"},{"key":"2025122406500756000_2025.12.19.25342404v1.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuron.2013.10.044"},{"key":"2025122406500756000_2025.12.19.25342404v1.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.93.18.9985"},{"key":"2025122406500756000_2025.12.19.25342404v1.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biopsych.2008.01.003"},{"key":"2025122406500756000_2025.12.19.25342404v1.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1364-6613(98)01218-2"},{"key":"2025122406500756000_2025.12.19.25342404v1.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neulet.2018.07.005"},{"key":"2025122406500756000_2025.12.19.25342404v1.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2167702614542463"},{"issue":"2","key":"2025122406500756000_2025.12.19.25342404v1.8","first-page":"419","article-title":"Purkinje cells pathology in schizophrenia.
