Neuronal Responses to Social Feedback in Major Depressive Disorder

NCT02180607 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 58

Summary

The overall goal of the proposed project is to investigate the neuronal pathways regulating the effects of social acceptance and rejection in healthy controls and patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Social acceptance and rejection are defined as the explicit declaration that an individual is liked or not liked. Social acceptance can boost one's self-esteem and mood, whereas rejection can lower them. The neurological relationship between social acceptance/rejection and depressive symptoms is not known. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), it is hypothesized that social feedback will activate a specific interconnected neuronal pathway involved in social separation and reward. Executive functioning and response to monetary reward will also be assessed during fMRI using two additional tasks (monetary incentive delay, parametric go no-go) to determine how these cognitive brain functions regulate responses to social feedback.
