Weakened effective connectivity between salience network and default mode network

... during resting state in adolescent depression


Recent publication


Dr David Willinger from the Division of Psychological Methodology and his former colleagues at ETH Zurich created functional magnetic resonance images of healthy adolescents and adolescents suffering from depression. The images were taken in a resting state and the activities of central networks in the brain were compared. In addition, the researchers investigated how the intake of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors affects the activities of the networks. The work has been published open access in the journal "Frontiers in Psychiatry".
