The convergence of biomedical and psychosocial approaches to neural network connectivity in depression.

There is a growing consensus on the influence neural networks of the mesocorticolimbic brain system on neuropsychiatric disorders. Neural networks consist of clusters of connected circuits identified with functional magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. Multiple networks including the default mode network, salience network, and executive function also described as the cognitive control network are implicated in both the presentation of depressive symptoms but also as moderators of treatment response.
