Imaging phenotypes of major depressive disorder: genetic correlates.

Neuroscience - 24 Nov 2009

Savitz J B, Drevets W C

Abstract excerpt

Imaging techniques are a potentially powerful method of identifying phenotypes that are associated with, or are indicative of, a vulnerability to developing major depressive disorder (MDD). Here we identify seven promising MDD-associated traits identified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or positron emission tomography (PET). We evaluate whether these traits are state-independent, heritable endophenotypes, or...
