  1. Depression and Long Term Memory Claire Drago

  2. Figure 1: http://www.somasin.com/14_SharedImages/memorylosschart.gif Background • Memory Loss effects 65% of people over the age of 70.

  3. Long-Term Memory

  4. Depression Brain thinning in the left hemisphere is a cause of depression while thinning in the right is a warning sign (Price 2004).

  5. Seratonin Depression can result from a shortage of the neurotransmitter serotonin. (Hall 1997.)

  6. Cortisol

  7. Literature Review • When training flies by olfactory training an increased number of sessions increases performance index. (Tully 1995).

  8. Literature Review • Depression may be linked to thinning of the brain cortex (Peterson 2008).
