Figure 3. Fig. 1. The underlying mechanism of depression. Brain insulin resistance develops due to the failure of brain cells to respond to insulin activity. The hippocampus, hypothalamus, and cortex regions of the central nervous system regulate insulin levels in the brain. The factors that relate to brain insulin resistance and severe depression include the HPA stress axis, reduced volume of the Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC), hippocampal gray matter, and the brain’s reward system-Created with BioRender.com.

描述

Brain insulin resistance mechanisms underlying depression are depicted, showing how HPA axis dysregulation, reduced anterior cingulate cortex volume, and impaired hippocampal function contribute to the condition.
