Teen-age girls, depression, alcoholism, and brain activity
University of Connecticut Health Center press release on a study in the November issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research that "examines teen-age girls with a history of depression, rather than active depression, to see if they exhibit a subtle abnormality in brain function. The study also investigates if the presence of depression or alcoholism among family members exaggerates the abnormality in brain function."
