Depression treatment and A dynamics: A study of Alzheimer s disease risk (ABD Study)
The study will use a randomized 8-week double-blind placebo controlled parallel trial using escitalopram to test the associations between depressive symptoms (captured by the MADRS and other depression scales), and AD biomarkers in both CSF and plasma as well as changes in vascular dysfunction (VD)-associated biomarkers(MMP2, MMP9, homocysteine, and platelet activation markers P-selectin and GP IIa/IIIb). The primary endpoints are the severity of depression symptoms at baseline, the change in depression scores after treatment with escitalopram, and the associated changes in AD and VD markers peptide levels. Secondary endpoints are depression severity at baseline, which will be tested in regression models in relation to the AD biomarkers (Aß peptides in CSF) cross-sectionally at baseline and after antidepressant treatment to test that Aß peptides are correlated with symptoms. The study will also examine if decreased levels of VD-associated biomarkers will (at least partially) mediate the effect of depression treatment response on increases in CSF Aß levels. This proposal will be the first to explore the relationships between CSF AD and VD biomarker levels and MDD symptom severity in cognitively normal MDD patients and the direction of causation between changes in Aß and VD biomarkers and changes in MDD symptom severity. The results of this study, if successful, may provide a rationale for reducing AD risk through a more effective treatment of depression in the elderly.

Determining Mechanisms of Pain Reduction in Chronic Widespread Pain After Rapid Weight Loss in Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic/Latino/a/x Adults
The purpose of this research study is to measure changes in widespread body pain after surgical weight loss. The main measures are pain at rest (pain while being still) and pain while you are moving (movement-evoked pain).
Developing a Novel Neural marker for Assessing Pathological Social Interactions
We hypothesize that pathological social interactions like those observed in Autism, arise from a failure by patients to appropriately model the thoughts and plans of others. In a previous project (s21_00714), we designed and tested a diagnostic suite of behavioral experiments, rooted in game theory, that can rapidly characterize the depth and structure with which an individual models the thoughts and plans of others. In the current project, we aim to use these tools with functional MRI (fMRI) in humans to uncover the neural mechanism of the depth and structure with which individuals reason about other individuals. In the experiment, subjects play a series of games, in which they are asked to choose between monetary amounts, while also taking into account the choices of other participants in the study. One of these decisions is then randomly selected for realization and the subject will receive the monetary outcome they selected on that round of the game.
