Gene expression profiling in postmortem prefrontal cortex of major depressive disorder.
Investigations of the molecular mechanisms underlying major depressive disorder (MDD) have been hampered by the complexity of brain tissue and sensitivity of gene expression profiling approaches. To address these issues, we used discrete microdissections of postmortem dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) (area 9) and an oligonucleotide (60mer) microarray hybridization procedure that increases...
متن کاملAltered choroid plexus gene expression in major depressive disorder
Given the emergent interest in biomarkers for mood disorders, we assessed gene expression in the choroid plexus (CP), the region that produces cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), in individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD). Genes that are expressed in the CP can be secreted into the CSF and may be potential biomarker candidates. Given that we have previously shown that fibroblast growth factor f...
متن کاملFunctional connectivity between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex in medication-naive individuals with major depressive disorder.
BACKGROUND Convergent evidence suggests dysfunction within the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and amygdala, important components of a neural system that subserves emotional processing, in individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD). Abnormalities in this system in the left hemisphere and during processing of negative emotional stimuli are especially implicated. In this study, we used functional m...
متن کاملEstrogen enhances stress-induced prefrontal cortex dysfunction: relevance to Major Depressive Disorder in women
The medial prefrontal cortex (PFC) is widely recognized as a site of dysfunction in patients with stress-related disorders, particularly MDD. Post-mortem studies of suicide victims’ brains reveal marked morphological changes—most notably, reduced glia and neuron number in the ventromedial PFC. Similarly, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies demonstrate reduced volume of this area in depress...
متن کاملAnhedonia and general distress show dissociable ventromedial prefrontal cortex connectivity in major depressive disorder
Anhedonia, the reduced ability to experience pleasure in response to otherwise rewarding stimuli, is a core symptom of major depressive disorder (MDD). Although the posterior ventromedial prefrontal cortex (pVMPFC) and its functional connections have been consistently implicated in MDD, their roles in anhedonia remain poorly understood. Furthermore, it is unknown whether anhedonia is primarily ...
