He studies potential objective biological markers to predict the outcome of pharmacological therapy in MDD, using a variety of technical means, such as immune index, skin sympathetic response, sleep electroencephalogram and functional Magnetic Resonance Image (f-MRI). He also found the characteristics of regional coherence in Alzheimer’s disease patients with depressive symptoms based on resting-state f-MRI.
