Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary endpoint is the change (relative to baseline) in clinician-rated MADRS score (Montgomery 1979) at 4 weeks. On a neural level changes in blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal is the main study parameter, especially within the habenula and circuitry involved in value-based decision-making. On a behavioural level, action-context specific Pavlovian-instrumental-transfer effects are the main study parameters. | — |
