[Abstract] Postpartum depression refers to the onset of depressive symptoms within twelve months postpartum. The pathogenesis of postpartum depression is unclear, especially the neurological pathogenesis. With the advances in neuroimaging technology represented by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in recent years, the study of the neural correlates of mental disorders has been increasingly approached using magnetic resonance techniques. In this review we synthesize the results from studies on postpartum depression in brain in the context of metabolism, functional and structural as a whole. This paper provides ideas and objective imaging basis for postpartum depression, so as to diagnose the disease early, intervene its occurrence and development, and improve the therapeutic effect.
