Summary

This study uses powerful 7T MRI scanners and visual perception tests to find biological markers for severe mental disorders like major depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Researchers will compare brain chemistry and vision in 320 patients and healthy volunteers. The goal is to make diagnosis and treatment monitoring more objective and precise.
