Scientists scan teen brains to predict depression before it starts
NCT ID NCT01743716
Summary
This study aimed to understand what might predict depression in teenage girls by looking at their genes and brain activity. It involved 100 healthy girls aged 12-14, some with a family history of depression, who completed interviews, computer tasks, and one brain scan over six months. The goal was to find early warning signs in the brain and genes, not to provide treatment.
