Yichen Zhang
I am a PhD student in the GHEP lab, funded by CSC. I received my bachelor’s degree in psychology at the Shandong Normal University (2018) and my master’s degree in cognitive neuroscience at South China Normal University (2021).
My research direction is mainly to use neuroimaging methods to detect the neural mechanisms of psychiatric patients. My PhD project will focus on the neural mechanisms of treatment-resistant depression (TRD) patients with different genotype of 5-HTTLPR and effect of rTMS treatment. I will use surface-based multimodel imaging analysis methods to combine structural and functional data to better understand the neurobiological dysfunctions of TRD patients. To better understand the rTMS treatment effect of TRD patients, I will combine multimodal brain imaging metrics and genotype of 5-HTTLPR using the machine learning algorithms to identify the sensitive neuroimaging biomarker for prediction of clinical outcomes of aiTBS treatment.
