Retinal nerve thickness - a predictor for clinically progressive depression
According to a new study, having a thinner retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) is related with a greater frequency of clinically significant depressed symptoms and more depressive symptoms over time. As a result, neurodegeneration may be linked to the early pathobiology of late-life depression.This study was performed by Frank C. T. van der Heide and team, results of which are published in...
