Deskripsi

The neural substrates of depression may differ by sex. Here the authors show that depression is associated with distinct brain connectivity changes in men and in women that are explained by sex-specific transcriptomic signatures involving genes previously implicated in synapse function, immune signalling, and depression risk.
