Researchers hope that this discovery could lead to new treatments and early diagnosis of the disease, from which one in every five persons on Earth suffer from. British Scientist now claims they have found the main cause of depression.A group of researchers from Yale University has learned, among those who suffer from depression, a gene called MKP-1 is two times more active than those whose mental health is safe. This gene is responsible for the functioning of neurons, which are used for transmitting and processing information and transmit electrical and chemical signals.During the study the researchers examined brain tissue samples of 21 people during his life had suffered from depression and 18 mentally healthy individuals. In addition, conducting research on mice, scientists found that when the gene MKP-1 in animals de-activated, they become resistant to stress and when the gene is working normally in mice found symptoms of depression....
