Aberrant cortical neurodevelopment in major depressive disorder

According to the WHO major depressive disorder (MDD1) is one of the leading causes of ill health and disability worldwide with more than 300 million people being affected (http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2017/world-health-day/en/; 03/30/2017; last access: 05/11/2018). The development of MDD is based on an intertwined mosaic of genetic and environmental factors leading to structural and functional alterations in neural networks linked to emotion processing (Han et al., 2017; Kupfer et al., 2012).
