Berlin Brains: Mental health: Why gender plays a role

More and more people are suffering from stress and depression. To effectively help them, studies using animal models are indispensable. But how can mental health be studied in animals? And what influence does sex have on the course of the illness and its treatment? Hanna Hoernberg and Tobias Pohl provide insights into the biology of the psyche. Their research illustrates how significantly the sex can impact mental health and well -being, and what new therapeutic options might result from it.
