Human depression: a new approach in quantitative psychiatry

<p>Abstract</p> <p>The biomolecular approach to major depression disorder is explained by the different steps that involve cell membrane viscosity, Gsα protein and tubulin. For the first time it is hypothesised that a biomolecular pathway exists, moving from cell membrane viscosity...
