Abstract

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Adolescent major depressive disorder (MDD) is a serious mental health condition that has been linked to abnormal functional connectivity (FC) patterns within the brain. However, whether FC could be used as a potential biomarker for diagnosis of adolescent MDD is still unclear. The aim of our study was to investigate the potential diagnostic value of whole-brain FC in adolescent MDD.
