🧠🧬 New preprint! Our meta-analysis of the effects of chronic stress on prefrontal cortex gene expression has gone live.😁
Jinglin Xiong is the first author. She completed this work *as an undergraduate researcher* and is currently applying to PhD programs! 🎉

Why does depression respond to treatments as diverse as SSRIs, TCAs, electroconvulsive therapy, TMS, tianeptine, and ketamine?
What do these treatments have in common?
