to forty percent smaller in depressed persons. When researchers looked into what might cause this shrinkage, it was found that it could be the result of having loss of glia,
which are small cells that do important or even critical housekeeping of the brain. The glia might also play a part in the development of serontonin in the system.
It could be that a defect in the neural development of the prefrontal cortex could be the initial abnormality in depression. If this is the case, then antidepressants may
actually not be as important as far as what they do to the serontonin levels in the brain as they are in how they affect the glutamate levels of the
brain. This leads researchers to feel that perhaps serontonin isnt as important as was originally thought, and in fact, the action of the neurotransmitters may not be the entire
