Where this comes from

Abstract

Research on novel treatments for major depressive disorder focuses quite deeply on glutamate function, and this research would benefit from a brain-imaging technique that precisely quantified glutamate function. Signs of a specific form of glutamate-related dysfunction that could be targeted by novel therapies were found using novel, state-of-the-art techniques to address this issue.
