First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a person's genetic makeup and brain activity influence their sensitivity to both positive and negative life events. Researchers will use genetic data from over 500,000 people and brain scans to identify who might benefit most from stress management therapy. The goal is to develop biomarkers that help match people to the most effective treatments for mental health and well-being.
