Abstract
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is marked by preoccupation with misperceived appearance flaws. Previous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have found reduced neural activity and connectivity of visual areas specialized for global/holistic visual processing in BDD [[1], [2], [3]], suggesting that aberrant dorsal visual system functioning might contribute to distorted perception. In this proof-of-concept study we tested if intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS), a form of excitatory repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), would enhance dorsal visual system utilization as quantified through dynamic effective connectivity (DEC) modeling [4]. This is a single-session study with the application of iTBS and an fMRI scan immediately afterwards (within 15 min after the stimulation). We hypothesized that those undergoing active iTBS would show enhanced connectivity in dorsal visual areas responsible for global/holistic visual processing compared with sham.
