RE: This is what depression is made of! - The biological underpinnings of depression
Oh Spolsky's paper, I remember citing that in my Rotation project back in 2012. I was trying to understand, the effect of traumatic stress on pre existing and post trauma fear memories. For most part of my rotation I kept thinking that corticosteroids are immune suppressants. So I might have imagined that effect of corticosteroids on neurons regulate dendritic spines while it's suppression of immune system makes us more prone to diseases. But then new evidence emerged, esp in its relation to microglial cells. It appears that whether it activates the immune fiction or suppress it there depends on its dose, timing and duration. So here is an added line of inflammation, stress endocrinology and psychiatric diseases that may interest you. I think there is a lot in this field to talk about.
And once again thanks for stopping by , reading and appreciating.
