MRI scans show dynamic brain patterns linked to depression progression

Gorodenkoff/AdobestockIn March 2025, the special research center "Mathematics of Reconstruction in Dynamic and Active Models" was launched by the Austrian Science Fund FWF. Researchers at the University of Klagenfurt, led by Barbara Kaltenbacher (Institute of Mathematics), started their expertise in inverse problems. The aim is to develop new mathematical tools for active, dynamic and model-based imaging modalities. Magnetic resonance imaging al…

MRI scans show dynamic brain patterns linked to depression progression

Depression affects millions of people worldwide, but much is still unknown about this illness and treatments don't always work. Ph.D. candidate Jesper Pilmeyer examined patients' brains using MRI technology. The patterns he discovered in the brain scans can help make a more accurate diagnosis and predict how the illness will progress.
