Fig. 1: Conceptual framework for exploring transcriptional dynamics of MDD in the brain.

Transcription dysregulation associated with depression is dynamic from predisposition to onset to illness; it is influenced by environmental exposures, contexts, and genetics, and can be studied from a variety of experimental approaches.
