Description:

Course Description: Inflammation has been implicated in the etiology of depression. However, depression is a multifaceted disease with heterogenous presentation across individuals. This barrier was overcome via examination of the relationship between inflammation and the core features of depression that exhibit homogeneity. Researchers found that inflammation plays a role in exaggerated reactivity to negative information, reward activity, and somatic symptoms. The findings further support the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders. Future research is needed to elucidate the specific nature of the relationship between inflammation and depression.
