Brain function, the family, and risk for adolescent onset depression
Supervisors:Dr. Sarah Whittle, A/Prof. Nicholas B. Allen, Dr. Murat Yucel
The aim of this study is to use brain imaging to examine neural functioning in adolescents at risk for depression. A key feature is the use of personally relevant emotional stimuli to probe neural function. This study will provide unique information regarding risk processes operating during adolescence.
