Studies at the basic and clinical levels demonstrate that neuronal atrophy and cell death occur in response to stress and in the brains of depressed patients. Although the mechanisms have vet to be fully elucidated progress has been made in characterizing the signal transduction cascades that central neuronal atrophy and programmed cell death and that may be involved in the action of antidepressant treatment. These pathways include the cyclic adenosine monophosphate and neurotrophic factor signal transduction cascades. It is notable that these same pathways have been demonstrated to play a pivotal role in cellular models of neural plasticity. This over-lap of plasticity and cell survival pathways, together with studies demonstrating that neuronal activity enhances cell survival, suggests that neuronal atrophy and death could result from a disruption of the mechanisms underlying neural plasticity. The role of these pathways and failure of neuronal plasticity in stress-related mood disorders are discussed, Biol Psychiatry 2000;48:732-739 (C) 2000 Society of Biological Psychiatry.
