Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of inflammation on central nervous system (CNS) glutamate, white matter pathology and alterations in behavior and cognition in middle-aged patients with major depression. Depression is associated with significant alterations in glutamate concentrations and white matter integrity, which has been associated with decreased antidepressant response, poor functional outcome, and cognitive impairment.

Primary Outcome

Single-voxel MRS (Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy) scans will be done to determine the glutamate levels in the basal ganglia. MRS uses a magnetic field to look at magnetic nuclei which absorb and re-emit electromagnetic energy in the presence of the magnetic field. By looking at the peaks in the resultant spectra, the structure and concentrations of metabolite can be determined.
