Altered Cerebellar-Cerebral Functional Connectivity in Geriatric Depression
Although volumetric and activation changes in the cerebellum have frequently been reported in studies on major depression, its role in the neural mechanism of depression remains unclear. To understand how the cerebellum may relate to affective and cognitive dysfunction in depression, we investigated the resting-state functional connectivity between cerebellar regions and the cerebral cortex in ...
متن کامل[Functional neuroimaging in patients with rapid cycling bipolar depression].
Bipolar patients with a rapid cycling clinical course constitute an interesting sub-group for studies focused on the pathophysiology of the disorder, since several switches can be studied by the investigators in a short period of time. At present, functional neuroimaging techniques, as SPECT and PET, may be used for the neurobiological study of affective disorders. Few longitudinal functional n...
متن کاملTranslational Functional Neuroimaging in the Explanation of Depression
Translation as a notion and procedure is deeply embodied in medical science and education. Translation includes the possibility to translate data across disciplines to improve diagnosis and treatment procedures. The evidence accumulated using translation serves as a vehicle for reification of medical diagnoses. There are promising, established post hoc correlations between the different types o...
متن کاملFunctional neuroimaging studies of depression: the anatomy of melancholia.
Functional brain imaging techniques, which permit noninvasive measures of neurophysiology and neuroreceptor binding, are powerful and sensitive tools for research aimed at elucidating the pathophysiology of major depression. The application of these technologies in depression research has produced several studies of resting cerebral blood flow (BF) and glucose metabolism in subjects imaged duri...
متن کاملClinical vignettes in geriatric depression.
The diagnosis of depression in older patients is often complicated by comorbid conditions, such as cerebrovascular disease or dementia. Tools specific for this age group, such as the Geriatric Depression Scale or the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia, may assist in making the diagnosis. Treatment decisions should consider risks associated with medications, such as serotonin syndrome, hyp...
