Brain networks ‘hyper-connected’ in young adults who had depression

August 27, 2014 by

Functional magnetic resonance imaging may help to better predict and understand depression in young adults. The researchers found many regions that are "hyper-connected -- or talking to each other a little too much -- among those who have a history of depression," one researcher said. These hyper-connected brain networks were related to rumination, with individuals thinking about a problem over and over without actively trying to come up with a solution.
