Psychoneuroendocrinology and brain imaging in depression.
In the past three decades, psychoneuroendocrinologic investigations have generated a great volume of information, particularly in the field of affective disorders, which has formed the basis for designing studies with newer tools such as anatomic and functional imaging. In this article, the authors focus on endocrine imaging in psychiatry and attempt to relate morphometric findings to physiologic neuroendocrine dysfunction in depression.
