lectroencephalographic Alpha Measures Predict herapeutic Response to a Selective Serotonin euptake Inhibitor Antidepressant : Pre-and ost-Treatment Findings

ackground: There is growing evidence that individual differences among depressed patients on electrophysiologic (EEG), neuroimaging, nd neurocognitive measures are predictive of therapeutic response to antidepressant drugs. This study replicates prior findings of retreatment differences between selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) responders and nonresponders in EEG alpha power or symmetry and examines whether these differences normalize or are stable after treatment.
