Dr. Mayberg is Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry at the Emory University School of Medicine and has an active research program in the neuroimaging of depression. Her studies have systematically examined neural mechanisms mediating antidepressant response to various treatments including pharmacotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and placebo with a goal towards identification of neurobiological markers predicting treatment response and optimized treatment selection. Her long-term interest in neural network models of mood regulation in health and disease led to the recent development of a new intervention for treatment resistant patients using deep brain stimulation, a study initiated at the University of Toronto and now continuing at Emory. Dr. Mayberg is a Board Certified Neurologist, trained at Columbia's Neurological Institute in New York, with fellowship training in nuclear medicine at Johns Hopkins. She received a BA in Psychobiology from UCLA and an MD from University of Southern California.
