TL;DR: Students who spent most of their time at home during the COVID-19 epidemic experienced better mental health when exposed to more greenery, and the mental health-supportive effects of indoor greenery were largely explained by increased feelings of being away while at home.

TL;DR: In a large international collaboration, this paper investigated self-reported factors associated with public health behaviours (e.g., spatial distancing and stricter hygiene) and endorsed public policy interventions during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic (April-May 2020).

TL;DR: Using VBM the present study was able to replicate decreases in GM volume restricted to frontal and temporal regions in patients with mood disorders, mainly major depression, compared with healthy controls.

TL;DR: The results from this resting state spDCM study support and enrich previous data on the role of the right anterior insula in the pathophysiology of depression, and add to the growing evidence of an association between depression severity and disturbances of the hippocampal function in terms of impaired connectivity with other brain regions.

TL;DR: GAD is characterized by increased nitro-oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation and lowered lipid-associated antioxidant defenses, while increased uric acid levels in GAD may protect against aldehyde production and protein oxidation.
