The Emerging Role of Inflammation in Depression and Other Psychiatric Disorders

Emory University's Andrew Miller, MD, discusses how during immune system activation, inflammatory cytokines can access the brain and interact with the metabolism of dopamine and glutamate, while altering neurocircuits in the brain connected to motivation and reward, as well as anxiety and alarm. This talk was sponsored in part by the National Network of Depression Centers (NNDC). (November 27, 2018)
