Helen Mayberg, MD, has studied neural network models of mood regulation using neuroimaging for more than 20 years. Mayberg's research has led to the recent development of a new intervention for patients with severe depression. The intervention, known as deep brain stimulation, or DBS, is intended for those who have not had success with other treatments.
