Early Changes in Prefrontal Activity Characterize Clinical Responders to Antidepressants
Previous studies have shown that changes in brain function precede clinical response to antidepressant medications . Here we examined quantitative EEG ( QEEG ) absolute and relative power and a new measure , cordance , for detecting regional changes associated with treatment response . Fifty-one adults with unipolar depression completed treatment trials using either fluoxetine or venlafaxine vs. placebo . Data were recorded at baseline and after 48 h and 1 week on drug or placebo . Baseline and change from baseline values were examined for specific brain regions in four subject groups ( medication and placebo responders and nonresponders ) . No regional baseline QEEG differences were found among the groups ; there also were no significant changes in theta power over time . In contrast , medication responders uniquely showed significant decreases in prefrontal cordance at 48 h and 1 week . Clinical differences did not emerge until after four weeks . Subjects with greater changes in cordance had the most complete 8-week responses . These findings implicate the prefrontal region in mediating response to antidepressant medications . Cordance may have clinical applicability as a leading indicator of individual response
