Official title

Investigating the Role of Slow-wave Activity as a Marker of Impaired Plasticity in Major Depressive Disorder

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The hypothesis underlying this proposal is that deficits of synaptic plasticity underlie the slow-wave activity (SWA) abnormalities observed n major depressive disorder (MDD), and that manipulating SWA may serve to circumvent these deficits by facilitating an increase in synaptic strength via the inhibition of synaptic down-scaling, thereby improving plasticity and mood.
