Deep graph learning of multimodal brain networks defines treatment-predictive signatures in major depression.

ABSTRACT: Major depressive disorder (MDD) presents a substantial health burden with low treatment response rates. Predicting antidepressant efficacy is challenging due to MDD's complex and varied neuropathology. Identifying biomarkers for antidepressant treatment requires thorough analysis of clinical trial data. Multimodal neuroimaging, combined with advanced data-driven methods, can enhance our understanding of the neurobiological processes influencing treatment outcomes. To address this, we analyzed resting-state fMRI and EEG connectivity data from 130 patients treated with sertraline and 135 patients with placebo from the Establishing Moderators and Biosignatures of Antidepressant Response in Clinical Care (EMBARC) study. A deep learning framework was developed using graph neural networks to int
