Cerebral Blood Flow, Hypofrontality Causes Depression in Postmenopausal Women
“Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF)” is impaired in depressed women and this condition is a strong indication of its potential pathophysiological role.
A recent research study conducted at the National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan revealed this fact immediately after the satisfactory tests and trials. This study was conducted under the leadership and supervision of the lead researcher Wei-Jen Yao and his colleague researchers.
The research findings reveal that the “Hypofrontality” is a medical term that indicates reduced blood flow and metabolism in the prefrontal cortex. Hypofrontality has consistently been associated with major depression and typically normalizes following recovery.
