          Potassium Channel Drug Offers New Hope for Treating Depression

          Two new studies reveal that ezogabine, a drug originally approved for epilepsy, may alleviate depression symptoms by targeting potassium channels in the brain. Researchers found that the drug improves function in reward-related brain regions like the ventral tegmental area (VTA), which is key to motivation and pleasure.

          Psychedelic Therapy Could Benefit 5.6 Million People with Depression

          Psilocybin-assisted therapy could potentially benefit up to 5.6 million Americans with major depressive disorder or treatment-resistant depression, offering a powerful alternative to traditional treatments. Researchers applied medical criteria to a national pool of patients and found that over half might be eligible for psilocybin therapy, pending FDA approval. If approved, this therapy could significantly impact public health policies, insurance frameworks, and economic costs by reducing reliance on long-term antidepressant prescriptions.

          Abnormal Brain Folding a Biomarker for Major Depressive Disorder

          Researchers discovered a biomarker for major depressive disorder (MDD) in the brain's outer layer folds, or gyri. The investigation, first of its kind, associates MDD with the local gyrification index (LGI), a measure of cortical folding derived from brain scans.

          A new study provides crucial insights into the potential relationship between thyroid hormones, blood sugar, lipid levels, and their effects on Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Researchers explored the intricate roles of these biological markers on MDD prognosis, the probability of suicidal behavior, and potential treatments.

          New Discovery Reveals Sex-Specific Causes of Depression Triggered by Stress Hormones Dysfunction

          Men are more likely to have a dysregulated HPA axis that is associated with depressive symptoms, while women have higher levels of binding proteins for stress hormones that may prevent dysregulation of the HPA axis. The findings shed new light on how stress hormones impact dopamine transmission and how this impacts depression on a sex-specific basis.
