MP Bowley, WC Drevets, D Öngür, JL Price - Biological psychiatry, 2002 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: Functional imaging studies implicate the prefrontal cortex and amygdala in
major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder, and glial decreases have been reported in
the prefrontal cortex. Here, glia and neurons were counted in the amygdala and entorhinal
cortex in major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and control cases. METHODS: Tissue
blocks from major depressive disorder (7), bipolar disorder (10), and control (12) cases,
equally divided between right and left, were cut into 50 μm sections and stained with the …
