Title

From molecular to behavior: higher order occipital cortex in major depressive disorder

Overall design

In this study, the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations of the blood oxygen level-dependent signal in middle temporal (MT), MT-seeded functional connectivity, and gamma-aminobutyric acid in MT were investigated in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), using high-field 7 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including resting state functional MRI and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. A cohort of adult MDD subjects (MDD group, n = 18) and age- and gender-matched healthy subjects (control group, n = 32) was recruited. Metabolite quantification was reported in absolute concentrations.
