Bullet points of Scientists Discover a Brain Network Twice The Size in Depression Patients
- The frontostriatal salience network is expanded nearly twofold in the cortex of most individuals with depression.
- This expansion was replicable in several samples and was linked to the filtering of external stimuli and reward processing.
- The researchers believe that this discovery could help in the development of future treatments that target this specific brain network.
