Abstract

Studies on working memory and functional neuro-imaging of treatment resistant depression (TRD) patients may take greatly benefits for us to reveal the characteristics of cognitive impairments and for clinicians to pay more attention to cognitive impairments and treatment of patients with TRD, which finally improve the quality of life and decrease family and social disease burden. The working memory and functional neuroimaging of TRD patients are reviewed in this paper.
