That astonishment quickly gave way to feelings of hopelessness. “I felt like my entire world was being pulled out from under me,” Coleman, now 32, says. “I went into a very dark spiral.”

PET/MRI findings ‘encouraging’ for people with late-life depression
PET/MRI scans have revealed positive findings for people with late-life depression – namely that they have preserved “synaptic density" and thus are likely to respond to treatment, according to a group in Belgium.
Neuroscientists at the Leuven Brain Institute used hybrid brain imaging to explore connections between synaptic density (on PET) and gray-matter volume (on MRI) for the first time in a group of depressed patients, with a link between the two thought to be involved in neurodegenerative diseases.
“In contrast to Alzheimer’s disease, lower gray matter volume in late-life depression is not associated with s...
