Our multidisciplinary appr oach combines behavioral experiments to functional\, cellular\, molecular\ , and imaging studies and validation of our rodent findings in human sampl es. We showed that chronic stress exposure promotes blood-brain barrier hy perpermeability leading to passage of circulating inflammatory mediators i nto the brain and the establishment of depressive behaviors. These changes occur in a sex-specific manner which may contribute to sex differences in depression prevalence\, symptoms and treatment responses.\n\n \n\nThis se minar will take place both in-person and online.
