Key Takeaways
- Researchers analyzed nearly 500,000 hippocampal cells from depressed and non-depressed individuals.
- Neurogenesis, the production of new neurons, stalls in the brains of adults with major depressive disorder.
- The study identifies molecular programs controlling neurogenesis as potential therapeutic targets.
- Depression is framed not just as serotonin deficiency but as a failure of neural plasticity.
