The wealth of connections in the brain are reduced in individuals with depression, brain images and postmortem studies have indicated. This results in impaired functional connections between key brain centers involved in mood regulation. Glial cells are one of the cell types that appear to be particularly reduced when analyzing post-mortem brain tissue from people who had depression. Glial cells support the growth and function of nerve cells and their connections. ...Sunday, 19 August 2012
