Investigating the neurochemistry of depression and the novel mood stabilising agent, ebselen, using magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Alternative title:
Neurochemistry of depression and the novel mood stabilizing agent ebselen
Abstract:

RATIONALE: Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) offers a tool for investigating in vivo neurochemical changes in depression, as well as for guiding targeted drug development. Using MRS, changes to the glutamatergic system have been demonstrated in depressed patients, although results from different studies have often been inconsistent. Elucidating the role of glutamate in depression can be helped by carrying out assessment with ultra-high field MRS and in addition to this, identifying pat...
