Potential structural trait markers of depression in the form of alterations in the structures of subcortical nuclei and structural covariance network properties

It has been proposed recently that major depressive disorder (MDD) could represent an adaptation to conserve energy after the perceived loss of an investment in a vital source, such as group identity, personal assets, or relationships. Energy conserving behaviors associated with MDD may form a persi...
