Simultaneous spectrophotometric estimation of Fluoxetine and Sertraline in tablets were performed using UV-Vis spectroscopic and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Absorption spectra of two components were recorded in 200-300 nm wavelengths region with an interval of 1 nm. The calibration models were thoroughly evaluated at several concentration levels using the spectra of synthetic binary mixtu...

The probabilistic reward task (PRT) has identified learning impairments in those with major depressive disorder (MDD), as well anhedonia-specific impairments. However, attempts to validate the have produced inconsistent findings. Thus, we seek determine whether Reward Behavior Disengagement (RBD), our proposed economic augmentation of PRT, differs between MDD participants and controls, there is...
