Background Major depressive disorder (MDD) is often resistant to treatment with usual
approaches. Patients with MDD have shown hypofunction of the frontotemporal cortex in …

Recent studies have indicated the potential clinical use of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)
as a tool in assisting the diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD); however, it is still …

Background Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a heterogeneous condition. Identifying the
brain responses to antidepressant treatment is of particular interest as these may represent …

Multi-channel near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive, on-the-spot, functional
neuroimaging technique allowing detection of the spatiotemporal characteristics of brain …

Introduction The effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the left
dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) …

Background Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) identifies neurophysiological
differences between psychiatric disorders by assessing cortical hemodynamic function. Few …

Background Previous functional neuroimaging studies of depression have demonstrated
frontotemporal dysfunction, including the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, while patients …

Background: Frontal asymmetry plays a major role in depression. However, patients with
treatment-resistant depression (TRD) have widespread hypofrontality. We investigated …

Introduction: The prediction of antidepressant treatment response may improve outcome.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of emotion processing in major depressive …

Background Previous studies proposed that functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)
can be used to distinguish between not only different severities of depressive symptoms but …
