340 MDD patients and 200 carefully matched healthy individuals have been studied in this project, according to which, we want to find the brain, cognitive, affective and behavioral abnormalities in MDD patients and high-risk individuals. Subjective judgments of MDD are not always reliable, if objective indices like brain structure and functional biomarkers do exist in MDD patients or subclinical people, we want to find them and hence promote the early diagnosis of MDD.
In addition, we are also trying some interventional approaches on subclinical people to find better ways to help MDD people, experiments concerning cognitive training and brain stimulation (TMS, tDCS) have already been employed.

Multimodal neuroimaging was performed on a subsample of 1445 participants who were cognitively and clinically assessed. Neuroimaging measures included T1-weighted structural neuroimaging, diffusion tensor imaging, perfusion neuroimaging using arterial spin labeling, functional imaging tasks of working memory and emotion identification, and resting state imaging of functional connectivity. All imaging data were acquired on the same scanner (Siemens Tim Trio 3 Tesla, Erlangen, Germany; 32 channel head coil) using the same imaging sequences.
