CIT = citalopram, MEP = motor evoked potential, %MSO = percentage of maximal stimulator output – the stimulation intensity, mV = milivolts, tDCS = transcranial direct current stimulation.

Baseline 1 refers to the MEP measured at the beginning of each session, baseline 2 refers to the MEP measured 1 hour and 45 minutes after medication intake, and baseline 3 refers to the MEP measurement immediately conducted after baseline 2 if transcranial magnetic stimulation intensity adjustment was necessary. Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation.
