Official title
Real-time Biofeedback With 7-Tesla MRI for Neurocircuit Based Treatment of Depression
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Previous research has shown that modulation of a brain region in rodents, the ventral tegmental area (VTA), improves depressive symptoms. Human research has also shown that VTA self-modulation using 'biofeedback' is feasible and successful in healthy volunteers. This biofeedback procedure is a type of cognitive training that includes real-time feedback about brain signal levels from the VTA. Our question is whether VTA self-modulation with biofeedback can influence depression symptoms.
