Scientists probe link between Body's inflammation and depression in women
NCT ID NCT03848715
Summary
This study aimed to understand how temporary inflammation might affect the brain's reward system—how we anticipate and enjoy things—in women. Researchers gave 40 healthy, premenopausal women either a low-dose substance to trigger a brief inflammatory response or a placebo, then measured their responses to social and monetary rewards. The goal was to see if inflammation disrupts reward processing, which could help explain why some people develop depression.
