Summary

To investigate the impact of a structured eight week exercise intervention as an add-on therapy in treating Major Depressive Disorder. Using behavioural techniques and neuroimaging to measure changes in brain function following an exercise intervention in people with clinical depression. By correlating changes in the hippocampus with changes in HPA axis hormones, inflammatory cytokines and growth factors it is possible to determine which of the biochemical markers is most predictive of improved neural function.
