Journal ArticleDOI

Increased hippocampal BDNF immunoreactivity in subjects treated with antidepressant medication.

TL;DR: Findings are consistent with recent studies measuring CREB levels in this same subject sample, and support current animal and cellular models of antidepressant function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Course of illness, hippocampal function, and hippocampal volume in major depression

TL;DR: Comparing hippocampal function, as assessed by performance on hippocampal-dependent recollection memory tests, and hippocampal volumes, as measured in a 1.5-T magnetic resonance imager, in depressed subjects experiencing a postpubertal onset of depression revealed a significant logarithmic association between illness duration and hippocampusal volume.
Journal ArticleDOI

Decreased levels of glutathione, the major brain antioxidant, in post-mortem prefrontal cortex from patients with psychiatric disorders.

TL;DR: The finding that GSH levels are reduced in post-mortem prefrontal cortex suggests that these patient groups may be more susceptible to oxidative stress.
