Analysis of voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity in medication-free, current major depressive disorder

Major depression disorder (MDD) has been attracting increasing attention from the public owing to its high prevalence, recurrence, and amounting danger of morbidity and mortality that have led to heavy burden on social economy and its great influence on life quality of individuals. Generally speaking, excessive self-blaming or low self-worth, feelings of hopelessness, loss of enjoyment and energy are regarded as part of the core depressive symptoms (Zahn et al., 2015). Although significant progress has been made in understanding the mechanism of MDD and developing optimal treatments, the exact neuro- physiological basis of MDD remains largely unclear.
