Antidepressant treatments, including conventional antidepressants and (es)ketamine, may reverse default mode network (DMN) resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) alterations related to major depressive disorder (MDD). Despite these agents having distinct initial action mechanisms, both likely share downstream effects that lead to structural and functional adaptations in MDD-related neural...
Oral esketamine is a potentially effective and well-tolerated treatment for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). However, around 50% of TRD individuals treated with oral esketamine do not achieve response, and this variation in response may be accounted for by interindividual differences between patients. Efforts to develop effective and personalized depression treatment strategies are...
Accumulating evidence supports the efficacy of (es)ketamine in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD), particularly treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Yet around 50% of the individuals with TRD do not respond to (es)ketamine. Elucidating predictors of response and remission could improve treatment outcomes at the individual level by defining subpopulations that are most likely to...
Psilocybin represents a novel therapeutic approach for individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) who do not respond to conventional antidepressant treatment. Investigating the influence of psilocybin on the pathophysiological processes involved in MDD could enhance our neurobiological understanding of the presumed antidepressant action mechanism. This systematic review aims to summarize...
