The Temple-Wisconsin Cognitive Vulnerability to Depression Project: lifetime history of axis I psychopathology in individuals at high and low cognitive risk for depression.

The course of depression in individuals at high and low cognitive risk for depression: a prospective study.

BACKGROUND Negative cognitive styles have been shown to prospectively predict depression onset and recurrence. Research has also begun to suggest that cognitive styles may be associated with the course of depression as well. This study examined whether cognitive risk for depression onset also predicts the course of depression in a prospective design. METHODS One hundred fifty-nine initially n...

The temporal or causal association of this reduction in hippocampal volume in depression, however, is not known. OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that reduced hippocampal volume precedes and therefore may be implicated in the onset of depression. DESIGN We used magnetic ...
