Brain School 2014 seminar: Mapping Depression Circuits: Foundation for New Treatment Strategies Using Deep Brain Stimulation
(VTC)
Helen Mayberg, MD
Professor of Psychiatry, Neurology, and Radiology
Dorothy C. Fuqua Chair of Psychiatric Neuroimaging and Therapeutics
Emory University School of Medicine
Atlanta, Georgia
A free public event as part of both Brain School 2014 and the Distinguished Scholars Series.
In the first seminar of Brain School 2014, Dr. Helen Mayberg will explore the foundations of deep brain stimulation as a treatment for depression. Critical to the development of this novel therapy for patients with treatment-resistant depression has been the further characterization of brain systems mediating normal and abnormal mood states as well as those mediating successful and unsuccessful response to various antidepressant interventions using functional neuroimaging. Registration for Brain School 2014 is free but required.
Hosted by: Michael J. Friedlander, PhD, Executive Director, Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute
