Scientists zap brains to unlock Depression's reward mystery
NCT ID NCT07467473
First seen Mar 13, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study looks at how a specific part of the brain, the medial prefrontal cortex, helps people with depression enjoy positive experiences. Researchers will use non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS) and brain scans (EEG and fMRI) in 48 adults with depression to see if changing brain activity can improve how they process rewards. The goal is to understand the brain's role in savoring good feelings, not to provide a treatment.
