Summary

This trial will study how different feedback timing affects learning and brain function in people with TBI, with and without depression.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking, right-handed adults aged 18-65 with traumatic brain injury (TBI), with or without depression. They must have normal or corrected-to-normal vision and not be pregnant. Excluded are those with other neurological diseases, substance abuse history, metal in the body, MRI restrictions, claustrophobia, recent corticosteroid treatment, or conditions like epilepsy.
What is being tested?
The study investigates how feedback timing affects learning and brain function in individuals with TBI. It specifically looks at differences between those who have depression and those who do not when receiving learning feedback.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves learning tasks and MRI scans rather than medication or invasive procedures, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from staying still during the MRI and potential stress from cognitive tasks.

Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) with MDDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Individuals with moderate-to-severe injury severity, defined as post-traumatic amnesia lasting more than 24hrs, loss of consciousness lasting more than 30 min, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score less than 13. In addition, individuals will have a diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD) as per DSM-5.
Group II: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Individuals with moderate-to-severe injury severity, defined as post-traumatic amnesia lasting more than 24hrs, loss of consciousness lasting more than 30 min, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score less than 13.
Group III: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Individuals meeting criteria for major depressive disorder (MDD) including qualifiers 'in partial remission' or 'in full remission' if they are actively in treatment for the condition and still carry the depression diagnosis.
Group IV: Healthy IndividualsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Healthy individuals without psychiatric and neurological conditions.
