Brain study volunteers needed

Research coordinator in the Child and Adolescent Mood Disorders Laboratory at McLean Hospital is currently inviting mothers and their 12-14 year old healthy daughters to participate in our study on how the brain changes during adolescence. This study is trying to uncover patterns of brain activity that may lead to the development of depression later in adolescence — that way, they may be able to do a better job of predicting depression, and, potentially, treating it.

Please download the attached PAD_Flyer for information about the study or contact Angela Pisoni at 617- 855-4428.
