"Promising Results: Mindfulness-based fMRI Neurofeedback Reduces Depression Risk in Adolescents"

A study published in Molecular Psychiatry suggests that mindfulness-based fMRI neurofeedback shows promise as a treatment for adolescent depression. The study found that this intervention effectively reduced connectivity in the default mode network (DMN), a neurological marker of major depressive disorder. It also increased state mindfulness and enhanced central executive network regulation. However, the study had a small sample size and lacked a control group, highlighting the need for further research in this area.
