Brain plaques linked to depression in seniors?
NCT ID NCT01962753
First seen May 23, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 92 adults aged 55 and older with major depression to see if their brains had amyloid plaques—sticky proteins linked to Alzheimer's. Researchers used a special PET scan to compare plaque levels in people whose depression got better, partly better, or didn't improve after 8 weeks of antidepressants. The goal was to understand connections between depression, thinking problems, and Alzheimer's risk, not to test a new treatment.
