Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate brain pathways within adult females (with a history of CSA that occurred between the ages of 5-14) with and without a current diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD). Hypotheses: The CSA/MDD participants will be characterized by (1) reduced reward responsiveness and prefrontal cortex activity, but increased cortisol levels, (2) reduced dopamine activity, and (3) reduced dopamine transporter binding. The over-arching purpose of the study is to (1) identify individuals at risk for psychopathology and maladaptive behavior, (2) prevent re-victimization, and (3) develop more targeted therapeutic interventions.

Primary Outcome

Utilizing 11C-altropane during positron emission tomography (PET) scanning allows us to measure dopamine active transporter (DAT) binding potential. Our outcome measure is Nondisplacable Binding Potential (BPND). BPND refers to the ratio at equilibrium of specifically bound radioligand to that of nondisplaceable radioligand in tissue. \*Higher BPND scores indicate greater binding potential
