[Abstract] Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the most common severe psychiatric disorders and is also an important cause of disability. Insomnia is not only a common symptom of MDD, but also the key factor in its recurrence, disability and suicide. With the development of neuroimaging and MRI technology, it is possible to elucidate the neuropathological mechanisms and associations of MDD with insomnia. In this paper, several advanced MRI techniques are used to review the current research progress of MDD with insomnia from the aspects of structure, function, metabolism and brain functional network, in order to provide imaging evidence for the interpretation of the pathological mechanism and optimize clinical decision making, and provide some new ideas for future researches.
