Brain Scans may Predict Depression Relapse
A simple functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scan could help doctors predict which patients might be at risk of relapsing into depression.
Researchers from King’s College London and the University of Manchester conducted a small study of 64 patients who were in remission from major depressive disorder, none of whom were prescribed medication. The scientists conducted an fMRI on the patients to search from atypical connections in the brain.
