科学家在具有复原力的小鼠身上发现大脑模式 可能导致新的抑郁症治疗 Scientists find brain pattern in resilient mice that could lead to new depression treatments.

旧金山哥伦比亚大学的研究人员已经确定了一种大脑特征,将具有复原力的小鼠与那些在压力后出现抑郁症的小鼠区分开来。 Researchers at UC San Francisco have identified a brain signature that distinguishes resilient mice from those that develop depression after stress. 通过刺激某些神经元,抗体较弱的小鼠表现出了更好的行为,寻求快乐并减少犹豫不决。 By stimulating certain neurons, less resilient mice showed improved behavior, seeking pleasure and lessening indecision. 该研究由Mazen Kheirbek牵头,侧重于阿米达拉和河马坎普斯之间的脑电路,可能导致新的非侵入性人类抑郁症治疗方法。 The study, led by Mazen Kheirbek, focuses on brain circuits between the amygdala and hippocampus and could lead to new non-invasive treatments for human depression.
