TL;DR: The editors have done a masterful job of weaving together the biologic, the behavioral, and the clinical sciences into a single tapestry in which everyone from the molecular biologist to the practicing psychiatrist can find and appreciate his or her own research.

Physiology and Neurobiology of Stress and Adaptation: Central Role of the Brain

TL;DR: As an adjunct to pharmaceutical therapy, social and behavioral interventions such as regular physical activity and social support reduce the chronic stress burden and benefit brain and body health and resilience.
Journal ArticleDOI

Major depressive disorder.

TL;DR: This review presents the major current approaches to understanding the biologic mechanisms of major depression and defines depression as a heterogeneous disorder with a highly variable course, an inconsistent response to treatment, and no established mechanism.

The brain reward circuitry in mood disorders

TL;DR: This Review synthesizes recent data from human and rodent studies from which emerges a circuit-level framework for understanding reward deficits in depression, and discusses some of the molecular and cellular underpinnings of this framework, ranging from adaptations in glutamatergic synapses and neurotrophic factors to transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroimaging studies of mood disorders.

TL;DR: Findings implicate interconnected neural circuits in which pathologic patterns of neurotransmission may result in the emotional, motivational, cognitive, and behavioral manifestations of primary and secondary affective disorders.

The prefrontal cortex

TL;DR: The Prefrontal Cortex, Fifth Edition, provides users with a thoroughly updated version of this comprehensive work that has historically served as the classic reference on this part of the brain.

Subgenual prefrontal cortex abnormalities in mood disorders

TL;DR: Using positron emission tomographic images of cerebral blood flow and rate of glucose metabolism to measure brain activity, an area of abnormally decreased activity is localized in the pre-frontal cortex ventral to the genu of the corpus callosum in both familial bipolar depressives and familial unipolar depressives.
