NuroSpark News: Depression Found to Have Roots in Specific Brain Cells
A groundbreaking study has revealed that depression isn’t just an emotion—it stems from observable changes in specific brain cell types. Researchers discovered that excitatory neurons, which regulate mood and stress, and microglia, the brain’s inflammation-managing immune cells, show altered gene activity in individuals with depression. These cellular shifts were identified using rare post-mortem brain samples and cutting-edge single-cell genomic techniques.
