Major Depressive Disorder Clinical Trial
The study will investigate functional and metabolic changes in the course of antidepressive
treatments.
The investigators will apply different imaging methods to investigate the effects of
antidepressive interventions on resting state neural activity, functional activation during
cognitive and emotional stimulation, neurotransmitter concentrations as well as
concentrations of brain- derived neurotrophic factor.

The investigators will apply different imaging methods to investigate the effects of
antidepressive interventions on resting state neural activity, functional activiation during
cognitive and emotional stimulation, neurotransmitter concentrations as well as
concentrations of brain- derived neurotrophic factor.
The investigators hypothesize that antidepressive interventions modulate the excitatory
glutamatergic system and thereby increase either the concentration of glutamate or the
glutamate/ glutamine ratio. These metabolic changes are accompanied by altered functional
activation in medial and lateral prefrontal areas during emotional and cognitive stimulation,
respectively. After longterm treatment, excitatory glutamate and inhibitory
gamma-aminobutyric acid concentrations adapt to a new homeostatic level which is reflected in
antidepressive response or remission of symptoms. The investigators assume that the levels of
glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid determine the amplitude of BOLD responses during
emotional and cognitive stimulation. Furthermore, the investigators hypothesize that the
plasma concentration of brain- derived neurotrophic factor might be a predictor for therapy
response and changes in the course of treatment.
With our protocol we adhere to the rules of good scientific practice and observe all relevant
laws, regulations and guidelines that pertain to the project. The investigators' study is in
compliance with the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the local ethics committee.
