Depression under the scan

Friday, 28 March 2025
Eindhoven University of Technology

Depression affects millions of people worldwide, but much is still unknown about this illness and treatments don’t always work. PhD 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.

Depression is being looked at from different angles in hopes of gaining more insight into the illness. Pilmeyer’s research focused specifically on abnormalities in patients’ brains. By thoroughly analyzing dozens of MRI scans, he aimed to discover patterns that would allow for better predictions of how the illness progresses.
