Defining the Neural Circuitry of Depression: Towards a New Nosology with Therapeutic Implications, by Helen Mayberg

The “delineation of brain-based illness models... is seen as a promising strategy for redefining our depression nosology” (Mayberg 2007, 729), and neural markers of “at-risk individuals may prove to be more sensitive predictors of subsequent depression and sensitivity to treatment than the clinical predictors we have at present” (Keedwell 2009, 97).
