Major Depression Clinical Trial
Official title:
Exploring the Impact of Peripheral Immune Challenge on the "Triple Network" and "Dorsal Nexus" Functional Connectivity in Humans
Acquiring, processing and utilising "information" is crucial to any mental function
-including seemingly simple daily functions. Collectively called 'cognitive functions',
these processes are a result of different regions of the brain acting together.
Disruption of these cognitive functions increases the risk of development of mental health
problem. Recently it has been proposed that inflammatory pathways may contribute to
disorders of cognition and behaviour like depression.
This is largely due to research showing that those with inflammatory conditions like
arthritis are more likely to develop mental health problems like depression. Conversely,
those who suffer from mental health problems (even in the absence of inflammatory
conditions) have large amounts of inflammatory molecules in the blood. Studies in animals
suggest that inflammation outside the brain can reach and affect the brain in a number of
ways. So, does inflammation play a role in the development of cognitive and behavioural
symptoms? What are the pathways involved?
The current project tries to address this question. Specifically, the investigators intend
to use modern scanning techniques to examine the effect of inducing a low grade inflammation
(using a commonly used typhoid vaccine) to see how the inflammation affects how different
regions of the act together to perform cognitive functions.
