Electroacupuncture prevents astrocyte atrophy to alleviate depression

2023-02-15

Abstract excerpt

Astrocyte atrophy is the main histopathological hallmark of the major depressive disorder (MDD) in humans and in animal models of depression. Here we show that electroacupuncture prevents astrocyte atrophy in the prefrontal cortex and alleviates depressive-like behaviour in mice subjected to the chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). Treatment of mice with CUMS induced depressive-like phenotypes as confirmed by...
