More research is paving the road to discover what causes susceptability towards depression. Noradrenergic neurons are activated by the release the hormone norepinephrine.
A new study presents a new found connection between these neurons and vulnerability to depression. This discovery is a breakthrough in understanding the causes of depression and will lead to new treatments for depression targeting the adrenergic system.
The researchers found that a small structure in the cerebral cortex referred to as the ventral tegmental area is involved. This area of the brain houses the dopaminergic neurons. Dopaminergic neurons play a role in depression vulnerability.
An increase in dopaminergic activity corresponds significantly to increased depression.
The noradrenergic neurons control these dopaminergic neurons in a depression chain reaction. These neurons control the body's response of resilience or vulnerability to depression.
The study also found that by promotion of noradrenaline production, higher resilience to depression could be achieved.
