Causal Role of Delta-beta Coupling for Goal-directed Behavior in Anhedonic Depression (NCT06132581)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Anhedonia, the inability to seek-out and experience pleasure, is a common symptom in depression that predicts treatment-resistance and is sometimes exacerbated by first-line antidepressants. In our previous research, we found that anhedonia decreases goal-directed behavior and its related neural activity. In this study, we will investigate target engagement from five-consecutive days of stimulation for participants that are within a unipolar major depressive episode and also have high symptoms of anhedonia.
