TMS parameters at baseline dependent on BDNF-genotype
| Met carriers | Val/Val carriers | p* | |
|---|---|---|---|
| RMT (%) | 39.9 ± 5 | 41.1 ± 8 | 0.54 |
| Baseline MEP (μV) | 775 ± 363 | 707.3 ± 209 | 0.68 |
| Stimulation intensity (%) | 49.8 ± 7 | 51.9 ± 9 | 0.42 |
| Perceptual threshold (mA) | 2.6 ± 0.9 | 3.3 ± 1.1 | 0.094 |
RMT and stimulation intensity to evoke a 0.5–1 mV MEP are given as percentage of maximum stimulator output. Data are given as mean ± SD. No significant group differences were found.
↵*Paired t test or Wilcoxon rank test, as appropriate.
