Official Title: Effects of Pharmacological Dopamine Modulation on Motivation and Motor Function in Major Depression Characterized by Low-grade Inflammation.
Brief Summary:
A large body of evidence on depression heterogeneity point to an "immunometabolic" subtype characterized by the clustering of immunometabolic dysregulations with atypical behavioral symptoms related to energy homeostasis.Motivational and motor impairments reflected by symptoms of anhedonia and psychomotor retardation in major depression are closely related to alterations in energy homeostasis, are associated with increased inflammation, and may be a direct consequence of the impact of inflammatory…
