Synapses, predictions, and prediction errors: A neocortical computational study of MDD using the temporal memory algorithm of HTM

Frontiers in Psychiatry February 23, 2023 Rammohan Shukla, Mohamed Sherif, Mostafa Z. Khalil et al. 1 citation

Introduction Synapses and spines play a significant role in major depressive disorder (MDD) pathophysiology, recently highlighted by the rapid antidepressant effect of ketamine and psilocybin. According to the Bayesian brain and interoception perspectives, MDD is formalized as being stuck in affective states constantly predicting negative energy balance. To understand how spines and synapses...

Audio-Guided Mindfulness Meditation During Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Sessions for the Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder: A Pilot Feasibility Study

Frontiers in Psychology August 17, 2021 Fiamma Cavallero, Michael C. Gold, Eric Tirrell et al.

Background: Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) has been shown to enhance the long-term treatment outcomes for major depressive disorder (MDD), and engagement of specific brain activities during brain stimulation may produce synergistic effects. Audio-guided meditation exercises are a component of MBCT that might be combined with standard transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy...
