Early adverse events, HPA activity and rostral anterior cingulate volume in MDD.
<h4>Background</h4>Prior studies have independently reported associations between major depressive disorder (MDD), elevated cortisol concentrations, early adverse events and region-specific decreases in grey matter volume, but the relationships among these variables are unclear. In the p...
