Background Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a heterogeneous condition. Identifying the
brain responses to antidepressant treatment is of particular interest as these may represent …

Recent studies have indicated the potential clinical use of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)
as a tool in assisting the diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD); however, it is still …

Background Major depressive disorder (MDD) is often resistant to treatment with usual
approaches. Patients with MDD have shown hypofunction of the frontotemporal cortex in …

Reduced haemodynamic response in the frontotemporal cortices of patients with major
depressive disorder (MDD) has been demonstrated using functional near-infrared …

Background Studies on major depressive disorder (MDD) show that the degree of
correlation between the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Hamilton Depression Rating …

Background Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) identifies neurophysiological
differences between psychiatric disorders by assessing cortical hemodynamic function. Few …
