New Model of Rumination Developed by Researchers to Aid in Early Detection and Treatment of Depression Researchers have made significant progress in understanding the mental process of rumination, which is characterized by persistent negative self-reflective thoughts that can lead to depression and anxiety. The aim of the study was to identify the specific brain regions responsible for rumination and develop methods for early detection and intervention of depression. Using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI), the researchers were able to pinpoint the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) as a key player in ruminative thoughts. The dmPFC is part of the…
