FMU Guest Lecture Series: Speaker Kevin Spelman PhD, MCPP

**Exclusive guest lecture for FMU students Tues April 14th, transcripts, audio and video available for download shortly afterwards**

“Most depression research has focused on hippocampal and frontal cortical regions for their roles in depression and antidepressant action and on the monoamine hypothesis. However, there is compelling evidence that other brain regions are also involved and that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a key role in depression and mediates the action of antidepressants”.
