Journal ArticleDOI

Structural and functional imaging of the hippocampus in young people at familial risk of depression

TL;DR: Euthymic individuals with a parental history of depression demonstrate increased activation of hippocampal-related neural networks during a memory task, particularly in brain regions involved in processing the salience of stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correcting frequency and phase offsets in MRS data using robust spectral registration

TL;DR: The algorithm, termed robust spectral registration (rSR), contains a set of subroutines designed to robustly align individual transients in a given dataset even in cases of significant frequency and phase offsets or unstable lipid contamination and residual water signals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of age and the APOE gene on metabolite concentrations in the posterior cingulate cortex.

TL;DR: The data suggest that creatine, a commonly used reference metabolite in 1H‐MRS studies, does not remain stable across adulthood within this region and therefore may not be a suitable reference in studies involving a broad age‐range.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early increase in marker of neuronal integrity with antidepressant treatment of major depression: 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy of N-acetyl-aspartate

TL;DR: Levels of NAA were significantly higher in patients treated with escitalopram than in either placebo-treated patients or healthy controls, consistent with the proposition that antidepressant treatment in depressed patients can produce early changes in neuronal integrity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopic measurement of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in major depression before and after electroconvulsive therapy

TL;DR: This study does not support prior studies arguing for GABA as a key factor in the treatment effect of ECT on major depression, and observed a significant decrease in NAA levels following ECT, due to neuronal loss or a transient dysfunction in prefrontal cortex.
