Helen Mayberg is Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry and the
Dorothy Fuqua Chair in Psychiatric Imaging and Therapeutics at
the Emory University School of Medicine where she has an active
research program in the neuroimaging of depression. Her group's
studies over the past 20 years have systematically examined depression
pathophysiology in both psychiatric and neurological patients,
as well as mechanisms mediating antidepressant response to various
modes of treatments. This long-term interest in neural network
models of mood regulation in health and disease led to the development
of a new intervention for treatment resistant patients using deep
brain stimulation, a continued focus on ongoing research. Current
projects also emphasize development of imaging biomarkers predictive
of treatment response and optimal treatment selection for individual
depressed patients at all stages of illness.
