В закладки: neurosci@nature.com podcast; связь депрессии с иммунной системой
1. NeuroPod is the neuroscience podcast from Nature, produced in association with the Dana Foundation. Each month, Kerri Smith will be delving into the latest research on the brain, from its molecular makings to the mysteries of the mind.

SFN Special
Audio (mp3 file)
In this special issue of NeuroPod, Kerri Smith brings you the best of the Society for Neuroscience meeting in San Diego, California. Find out what computers can do for brains, find two ways to zoom in on pain, hear some of the most quickfire conference presentations ever, and discover what the Rolling Stones were doing at the meeting.

2. From inflammation to sickness and depression: when the immune system subjugates the brain. Nature Reviews Neuroscience, advance online publication, 12 December 2007 | doi:10.1038/nrn2297
In response to a peripheral infection, innate immune cells produce pro-inflammatory cytokines that act on the brain to cause sickness behaviour. When activation of the peripheral immune system continues unabated, such as during systemic infections, cancer or autoimmune diseases, the ensuing immune signalling to the brain can lead to an exacerbation of sickness and the development of symptoms of depression in vulnerable individuals. These phenomena might account for the increased prevalence of clinical depression in physically ill people. Inflammation is therefore an important biological event that might increase the risk of major depressive episodes, much like the more traditional psychosocial factors.
