Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how major depressive disorder (MDD) affects the functional connectivity between the left and right amygdala, particularly looking at the medial sub-region in MDD patients compared to healthy controls.
- Findings revealed that MDD patients showed reduced inter-hemispheric connectivity in the medial amygdala, which correlated with the severity of depressive symptoms and emotional processing abilities.
- Additionally, the medial amygdala's connectivity levels could predict treatment responses to SSRIs in over 65% of cases, highlighting the importance of this brain region in understanding depression.
