A Study to Explore the Effect of SP-624 on Brain Network Analytics in Healthy Adults and Adults With Major Depression
Recruiting
The main goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the active study drug (code name: SP-624) has any effect on the electrical activity of the brain in adult healthy volunteers and in adults with major depression. Another goal of the study is to learn if SP-624 improves memory and learning in adults with major depression. The study will also provide additional information on the safety of SP-624 and how well it is tolerated in adult healthy volunteers and adults with major depression. Researche... Read More

The Neural Underpinnings of Depression and Cannabis Use in Young People Living With HIV
Recruiting
To elucidate mechanisms of substance use disorders (SUD) and comorbid mental illnesses in people living with HIV (PLWH), the study team seeks to investigate reward and pain circuitry in cannabis use and depression comorbidity, two highly prevalent conditions in PLWH. The study team proposes a tightly integrative study to test the overall hypothesis that cannabis use and depression in young PLWH have an additive effect, inducing both reward deficits and pain hypersensitivity, and that this patter...

Amplification of Positivity for Alcohol Use
Recruiting
The proposed study consists of two phases. During Phase 1, the investigators will recruit a small sample of participants to complete a psychosocial intervention termed Amplification of Positivity (AMP) for individuals experiencing comorbid depression or anxiety disorders and alcohol use disorder (AMP-A). These participants will be asked to provide both qualitative and quantitative input about the AMP-A intervention. Based on their input and clinician input, the AMP-A manual will be modified for...

A Computerized Depression Intervention in Veterans
Recruiting
Depressive symptoms are common among Veterans and associated with significant impairment. Timely intervention has the potential to improve mental health outcomes and restore functioning. Interventions delivered through the internet can be completed remotely at any time, and thus minimize burden on Veterans, however the research examining their utility in Veterans is limited. This proposed project will examine Deprexis, a self-guided internet-delivered intervention, which targets depressive sympt... Read More

Neural-Derived Plasma Exosomal MicroRNAs As Promising Novel Biomarkers for Suicidality and Treatment Outcome in Adolescents
Recruiting
This study is dedicated to help identify biomarkers for depression and suicide. The purpose of the study is to better understand these links to improve medical and psychiatric care in the future. This research is also to test the effects of standard treatment of depression on improvement in depressive and suicidal behavior and on biomarkers (e.g. miRNA) for these disorders.

Effect of Vagal Nerve Stimulation on Gastric Motor Functions
Recruiting
The specific aim of this study is to compare simultaneous assessment of gastric emptying and gastric accommodation in response to a caloric meal In patients who have previously undergone activation of left cervical VNS for the treatment of medication-resistant depression. Our hypothesis is that cervical VNS increases gastric accommodation and accelerates gastric emptying compared to a bank of healthy control data.
