[Abstract] Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common mental disease, but its etiology and pathogenesis is not clear. Along with the continuous development of MRI sequences and computer technology, some progresses have been made in the diagnosis, treatment and pathogenesis of MDD. In this paper, we summarized the application and progress of magnetic resonance structural and functional imaging in MDD, in order to reveal potential pathological basis and pathogenesis.
