Abstract
Psychosocial stressors induce central and peripheral immune pathway signaling that is increasingly thought to be relevant to the pathophysiology of depression. We hypothesized that chronic social defeat stress (CSD) in rodents can precipitate an immune reaction in the brain directly through activation of resident microglia and that the degree and kind of activation are dependent on the psychological status of the animal following the stress.
