METHODS: A search for papers published in English was conducted using MedLine, Embase, PsycINFO, OvidSP, and ScienceDirect with the following words: resting state, depression, MRI, affective, and default-mode. RESULTS: The findings from 16 resting-state fMRI studies on MD are tabulated. Some common findings are discussed in further detail. CONCLUSION: The use of resting-state fMRI in MD research has yielded a number of significant findings that provide the basis for understanding the pathophysiology of depressive symptoms. Of particular note and deserving of further research are the roles of the cortico-limbic mood regulating circuit (MRC) and the interaction between task-positive and task-negative networks in MD. There is increasing interest in the use of resting-state fMRI in the study of psychiatric conditions, and continued improvement in technique and methodology will prove valuable in future research.<br/> </p><p>PMID: 22858266 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]</p> en-us Copyright 2000-2026 NITRC OSI Fri, 01 May 2026 2:28:02 GMT http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss NITRC RSS generator
