Antidepressant actions of histone deacetylase inhibitors.

14 Sep 2009 Persistent symptoms of depression suggest the involvement of stable molecular adaptations in brain, which may be reflected at the level of chromatin remodeling. We find that chronic social defeat stress in mice causes a transient decrease, followed ... Read more...

Depressive symptoms and brain volumes in older adults: a longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging study.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Late-life depression is associated with decreased brain volumes, particularly in frontal and temporal areas. Evidence suggests that depressive symptoms at a subclinical level are also associated with brain atrophy in these regions, but ... Read more...

Apathy is not associated with basal ganglia atrophy in frontotemporal dementia.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine whether basal ganglia atrophy, known to be associated with apathy in nondementia populations, was associated with presence of apathy in patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). METHODS: A cross-sectional case study was ... Read more...
