Brain changes associated with depression treatment: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Understanding changes in brain activity following treatment is critical to advancing the use of neuroimaging in psychiatric research. Previous work has focused on defining abnormalities (biomarkers) between patients and healthy controls but there has been less investigation of brain changes in depression patients following treatment. To boost sample size and explore the possibility of common treatment mechanisms, we considered results from standard and emerging forms of treatment. In order to investigate and synthesize findings of brain changes, we conducted a coordinate based meta-analysis of depression treatment studies reporting pre- and post-treatment task-based neuroimaging data to determine if there were common brain regions that changed with effective depression t
