Summary
Neuroimaging with positron emission tomography is increasingly developing radioligands that emulate targets traditionally within the domain of postmortem studies. Consequently, markers indicative of neuroinflammatory processes are advancing and enabling rapid assessment of the neuroinflammatory theory of major depressive disorder (MDD). One marker, translocator protein (TSPO), has now had a significant number of investigations in MDD and it is anticipated that investigations of other neuroinflammatory markers will be extended into mood disorders. Of these measures, neuroimaging of monoamine oxidase B demonstrates promising differences between MDD and health.
