Background: Patients with major depressive disorders (MDD) have abnormalities in the frontal-limbic structures of the brain. Childhood trauma is a risk factor for both structural brain alterations and MDD. However, the relationships among the three have not been confirmed.

Article Synopsis
  • The study looked at brain activity in people with major depressive disorder (MDD) using fMRI to understand how they process emotions, especially negative ones.
  • It found that when healthy people react to emotions quickly, their brain shows strong connections, but people with MDD have weaker connections under the same conditions.
  • The results suggest that people with MDD might have a slower reaction time in their brains, which relates to their symptoms like feeling sluggish or having trouble with motor skills.

To determine whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the visual cortex (VC) provides effective and well-tolerated treatment and whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures functional change of the VC as a biomarker of therapeutic effect in major depressive disorder (MDD), we performed a sham-controlled, double-blind, randomized, three-arm VC rTMS treatment study in 74 MDD patients. Neuronavigated rTMS (10 Hz, 90% of resting motor threshold, 1,600 pulses over 20 min twice per day) was performed over the VC for five days. Clinical outcome was measured by Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-24) at days 0, 1, 3, 5 and after terminating rTMS, with follow-up at four weeks.

Increasing evidence has suggested that microglia dysfunction plays an important role in the pathogenesis of depression. Both classical activation (M1 activation) and alternative activation (M2 activation) may be involved in the process. M1-activated microglia secrete various pro-inflammatory cytokines and neurotoxic mediators, which may contribute to the development of depression, while M2-activated microglia promote tissue reconstruction by releasing anti-inflammatory cytokines involved in the process of depression.
