Mapping Depression in the Brain

I find this kind of research fascinating. From Medical News Today:


It is the first piece of research to show there is a brain mechanism behind Freud's classical idea that depression differs from normal sadness by proneness to exaggerated feelings of guilt or self-blame.


Dr Roland Zahn, from the University's School of Psychological Sciences, told the press:


"For the first time, we chart the regions of the brain that interact to link detailed knowledge about socially appropriate behavior - the anterior temporal lobe - with feelings of guilt - the subgenual region of the brain - in people who are prone to depression."
