BACKGROUND High rates of depression have been reported in individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The purpose of the current study was to investigate the relationship between structural MRI findings and the development of novel cases of post-injury depression in this population METHODS The study has a cross-sectional design. Assessments were conducted on average 2.2 years post-injury. Participants were 54 individuals (76% male, mean age 35 years, median PTA duration 16 days) who had sustained a TBI. Depression was assessed with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID-IV). Structural MRI scans were performed with a 1.5 Tesla machine. RESULTS The presence of lesions in the frontal, temporal, parietal and the sublobar regions was not related to depression. However, an imbalance of left vs right frontal and parietal viable brain volumes was related to the development of depression. CONCLUSIONS These findings are in support of Heller's model of emotion processing, but should be replicated using larger samples. Potential clinical implications are discussed in the manuscript.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D001930 Brain Injuries Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.

D003430 Cross-Sectional Studies Studies in which the presence or absence of disease or other health-related variables are determined in each member of the study population or in a representative sample at one particular time.
