Damien Fair, PhD, Co-Director of the UMN’s Masonic Institute for the Developing Brain (MIDB), has co-authored a new publication reporting on the use of brain imaging to reveal neural signals predictive of future depression in youth with family histories of depression. Previous research indicates that young people whose parents struggle with depression are more likely than their peers to develop depression later. The article Familial Risk for Depression Moderates Neural Circuitry in Healthy Preadolescents to Predict Adolescent Depression Symptoms in Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, appearing in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, identifies neural markers in at-risk pre-adolescents that predict the development of depression later in adolescence. These neural markers in at-risk youth may inform early therapies and interventions to prevent or lessen the severity of future bouts of depression. MIDB is a Consortium Member Center.
