Adult Depression Linked to Stalled Brain Cell Growth, Study Finds

Neurogenesis in the adult brain hippocampus stalls in patients with major depressive disorder, according to a study published by researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. While previous medical models linked depression primarily to neurotransmitter deficiencies like serotonin, the new findings indicate that the condition stems from broader issues affecting neuronal adaptability … Read more

Spatial Technologies in Advanced Brain Mapping: A New Review

Mapping human brain function requires tracking single-cell and spatial multi-omics across molecular layers, according to a review published in EXO – Beyond the Cell. Traditional bulk tissue measurements often miss the complex anatomical and microenvironmental niches that define neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Single-Cell Multi-Omics and Disease Progression Understanding molecular changes in the brain … Read more
