Structural plasticity: cause, result, or correlate of depression

      The articles in this issue of Biological Psychiatry are derived from oral presentations at a conference, “Depression in the 21st Century: New Insight into Drug Development and Neurobiology,” held February 2–22, 2000 in Dana Point, California. The speakers represented a range of clinical practitioners, pathologists, and preclinical investigators, with strong focus on the neurobiology of mood disorders, as well as a few basic scientists like myself who had a strong interest in the field but little experience with directly relevant models. My comments here reflect a view of biological psychiatry from the perspective of a generalist observing a fast moving field, integrating basic observations in neurobiology with clinically defined problems.
