Peripheral immune cell reactivity and neural response to reward in patients with depression and anhedonia
Abstract Increased levels of peripheral cytokines have been previously associated with depression in preclinical and clinical research. Although the precise nature of peripheral immune dysfunction in depression remains unclear, evidence from animal studies points towards a dysregulated response of p...

Abstract Increased levels of peripheral cytokines have been previously associated with depression in preclinical and clinical research.
