Project Overview

Depression is a leading cause of disability, with a large proportion of treatment-resistant patients. Recent studies have implicated reduced brain inhibition in human depression from a specific neuron type (SST), and new pharmacology boosting this reduced inhibition led to antidepressant and pro-cognitive effects in rodents. However, establishing a direct link…
