Several studies have reported low brain serotonin transporter (SERT) binding in individuals with major depression. We hypothesized that the SERT standardized uptake ratio (SUR) values using [123I]-ADAM single photon emission computed tomography would increase in depressed subjects who responded to cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) compared to CBT nonresponders. [123I]-ADAM scans were acquired before and after 12 weeks of CBT from 20 depressed subjects and on two occasions 12 weeks apart from 10 non-depressed, healthy volunteers. The primary outcome measure was change over time in SUR values in the midbrain, medial temporal lobe, and basal ganglia regions. Depressed subjects demonstrated low pre-treatment mean SUR values that significantly increased over time in the midbrain (p=0.011), right medial temporal lobe (p=0.008), and left medial temporal lobe (p=0.000) regions. Treatment responders showed a significant increase over time in SUR values in left medial temporal lobe (p=0.029) and right medial temporal lobe (p=0.007) regions. Partial and nonresponder subjects also showed a significant increase over time in SUR values in the left medial temporal region (p=0.040) (versus healthy volunteers), but to a lesser degree. The findings suggest that low pre-treatment SERT binding may increase over time in some depressed individuals who experience symptom improvement.
