The Role of Neural Plasticity in Depression: From Hippocampus to Prefrontal Cortex
Neural plasticity, a fundamental mechanism of neuronal adaptation, is disrupted in depression. The changes in neural plasticity induced by stress and other negative stimuli play a significant role in the onset and development of depression. Antidepressant treatments have also been found to exert the...
