简要总结
This project is designed to examine the role of the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) in anhedonia and anxiety in humans with depression, as well as the acute and sustained effects of ketamine on agACC activation and depression symptoms.

排除标准
- •Current or history of schizophrenia or other psychotic disorder/episode, bipolar disorder, neurodevelopmental disorder, or neurocognitive disorder;
- •Current major depressive disorder with psychotic features;
- •Substance use disorder within the past 2 years*;
- •Lifetime history of ketamine use disorder;
- •Antidepressant medication within 2 weeks of Baseline (4 weeks for fluoxetine);

- •Clinically significant abnormalities of laboratories, physical examination, or ECG;
- •Positive urine toxicology screen for drugs of abuse at the time of screening, except cannabis;

结局指标
主要结局
sgACC response to the Incentive Flanker Task
时间窗: Baseline
Subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) response to reward measured by the BOLD (Blood Oxygen Level Dependent) signal within the sgACC region of the brain, during an fMRI Incentive Flanker Task in healthy controls and in adults with MDD. BOLD signal is the unit of measure of this outcome.
次要结局
- Treatment-related change in sgACC response to the Incentive Flanker Task(Baseline and Day 1)
