Major depressive disorder is a leading cause of disability worldwide and a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease. While there are several options for antidepressant treatment, only about 40–60% of patients respond to initial ...

Electroconvulsive therapy mediates neuroplasticity of white matter microstructure in major depression. [PDF]
Whether plasticity of white matter (WM) microstructure relates to therapeutic response in major depressive disorder (MDD) remains uncertain. We examined diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) correlates of WM structural connectivity in patients receiving ...

Dysfunctional Cortical Gradient Topography in Treatment-Resistant Major Depressive Disorder
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) refers to patients with major depressive disorder who do not remit after 2 or more antidepressant trials. TRD is common and highly debilitating, but its neurobiological basis remains poorly understood. Recent neuroimaging studies have revealed cortical connectivity gradients that dissociate primary sensorimotor ...

Depression and sickness behavior are Janus-faced responses to shared inflammatory pathways [PDF]
It is of considerable translational importance whether depression is a form or a consequence of sickness behavior. Sickness behavior is a behavioral complex induced by infections and immune trauma and mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Evaluating metabolites in patients with major depressive disorder who received mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and healthy controls using short echo MRSI at 7 Tesla. [PDF]
ObjectivesOur aim was to evaluate differences in metabolite levels between unmedicated patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and healthy controls, to assess changes in metabolites in patients after they completed an 8-week course of mindfulness ...

A functional variant in the serotonin receptor 7 gene (HTR7), rs7905446, is associated with good response to SSRIs in bipolar and unipolar depression. [PDF]
Predicting antidepressant response has been a clinical challenge for mood disorder. Although several genome-wide association studies have suggested a number of genetic variants to be associated with antidepressant response, the sample sizes are small and

Rare Copy Number Variation in Treatment-Resistant Major Depressive Disorder [PDF]
While antidepressant treatment response appears to be partially heritable, no consistent genetic associations have been identified. Large, rare copy number variants (CNVs) play a role in other neuropsychiatric diseases, so we assessed their association with treatment-resistant depression (TRD).We analyzed data from two genome-wide association studies ...
