| Research Abstract |
The findings of this study suggest that cognitive dysfunction for prediction of future reward in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with abnormal prefrontal cortical and striatal activation. The brain activity in these regions in patients with MDD may be useful to predict the response to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and to evaluate the effect of CBT.
