A study by Fanli Kong and team reveals increased theta activity in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) of rats linked to depressive behaviors. Using a microelectrode array, researchers monitored real-time brain activity, potentially paving the way for targeted depression treatments. The findings suggest BLA theta activity could serve as a biomarker for depression, offering new insights into neural responses to depressive states.
