          Cognitive Biotype: A Novel Depression Subcategory Defying Conventional Treatments Identified

          Researchers discovered a new depression subtype, the 'cognitive biotype,' affecting 27% of patients who respond poorly to typically prescribed antidepressants. These patients struggle with planning, self-control, sustained focus, and suppressing inappropriate behavior, with brain scans revealing reduced activity in the regions responsible for these tasks.

          Probiotics Enhance Antidepressant Efficacy for Major Depressive Disorder

          A probiotic blend comprising 14 strains of bacteria can enhance the treatment of major depressive disorder when used alongside antidepressants. This pilot study highlights the potential of probiotics in promoting improvements in mood over an eight-week period. It is a pioneering exploration into how gut health, improved via probiotics, could pave the way for a novel approach to bolster mood and mental health.

          Reproductive Aging May Be Slowed by SSRI Antidepressants

          Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) commonly used to treat depression and anxiety can improve the quality of aging females' egg cells in roundworms and fruit flies. The study found that the exposure to SSRIs decreased embryonic death and chromosomal abnormalities in surviving offspring. The researchers said that these findings could lead to new opportunities to explore pharmacological interventions that could combat infertility issues in humans by improving egg quality and delaying the onset of reproductive aging.

          How Prozac Increases Brain Plasticity

          Fluoxetine (Prozac), a common antidepressant, was found to enhance the erasure of learned fear responses and facilitate spatial pattern learning in mice. The study also found the TrkB receptor in PV+ interneurons plays a crucial role in these effects, which may offer new possibilities for the development of psychiatric treatments targeting brain plasticity.
