Abstract
Major depressive disorder is a very common serious mental illness with increasing prevalence in the population. Its pathology includes biochemical, morphological, and electrophysiological changes in various brain areas. In spite of decades of extensive research pathophysiology of depression is still not sufficiently understood. When depression occurs just before or during pregnancy, it may have a detrimental effect on perinatal and/or postnatal brain development, affecting the offspring's behavior. An important role in the pathology of depression is the hippocampus as a center for cognition and memory. Here we review changes in morphology, biochemical, and electrical signaling caused by depression in first and second generation identified in various animal models.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
