"Beta Brain Waves Identified as Depression Marker"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Neuroscience News
A study identifies beta frequency neural activity in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) as crucial for recognizing rewards and shaping behavior, which is altered in patients with depression. This neural signature could serve as a biomarker and potential treatment target for anhedonia, potentially leading to innovative therapies for mental health conditions involving disrupted reward processing.
