In animals, systemic inflammation can induce neuroinflammation and activation of microglia; however, postmortem studies have not convincingly shown that there is neuroinflammation in depression. The purpose of this study was to use positron emission tomography (PET) with [¹¹C]PBR28, which binds to the neuroinflammation marker translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO),...
