  1. DTMS was applied in 20 daily sessions in all studies. Since rTMS was applied in 10 sessions in most studies, data at 10 sessions were coded in all DTMS and rTMS studies. For the definition of location, ‘5.5 cm’ refers to 5.5 cm away from the motor ‘hot-spot’. Abbreviations: DTMS deep transcranial magnetic stimulation, F8 figure-of-eight coil (rTMS), H1 H1-coil (DTMS), k number of studies, L left PFC, MT resting motor threshold, PFC prefrontal cortex, rTMS repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
