For the first time, scientists pinpoint the brain cells behind depression

For the first time, scientists pinpoint the brain cells behind depression | Grief & Bereavement Counseling | Scoop.it
Scientists have identified two specific types of brain cells that behave differently in people with depression, offering a clearer picture of what is happening inside the brain. By analyzing donated brain tissue with advanced genetic tools, the researchers found changes in neurons linked to mood and stress, as well as in immune-related microglia cells. These differences point to disruptions in key brain systems and reinforce that depression is rooted in biology, not just emotions.
