Else Kröner Memorial Fellowships
Diabetes and depression often occur together and are the leading causes of disability worldwide. However, the mechanisms underlying this high comorbidity rate are unclear. In this study, we use brain imaging, behavioral experiments and blood tests to investigate whether reduced sensitivity to the metabolic hormone insulin and chronic inflammatory processes are related to brain functional changes and depressive symptoms in both disorders.
