    Abstract Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is a debilitating condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been widely used with excellent outcomes in neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, tremor, and dystonia. More recently, DBS has been proposed as an adjuvant therapy for TRD. To date, the antidepressant efficacy of DBS is still controversial, and its mechanisms of action remain poorly understood. Astrocytes are the most abundant cells in the nervous system. Once believed to be a "supporting" element for neuronal function, astrocytes are now recognized to play a major role in brain homeostasis, neuroinflammation and neuroplasticity. Because of its many roles in complex multi-factorial disorders, including TRD, understanding the effect of DBS on astrocytes is pivotal to improve our knowledge about the antidepressant effects of this therapy. In depression, the number of astrocytes and the expression of astrocytic markers are decreased. One of the potential consequences of this reduced astrocytic function is the development of aberrant glutamatergic neurotransmission, which has been documented in several models of depression-like behavior. Evidence from preclinical work suggests that DBS may directly influence astrocytic activity, modulating the release of gliotransmitters, reducing neuroinflammation, and altering structural tissue organization. Compelling evidence for an involvement of astrocytes in potential mechanisms of DBS derive from studies suggesting that pharmacological lesions or the inhibition of these cells abolishes the antidepressant-like effect of DBS. In this review, we summarize preclinical data suggesting that the modulation of astrocytes may be an important mechanism for the antidepressant-like effects of DBS.

    Abstract Historically, pathological brain lesions provided the foundation for localization of symptoms and therapeutic lesions were used as a treatment for brain diseases. New medications, functional neuroimaging and deep brain stimulation have led to a decline in lesions in the past few decades. However, recent advances have improved our ability to localize lesion-induced symptoms, including localization to brain circuits rather than individual brain regions. Improved localization can lead to more precise treatment targets, which may mitigate traditional advantages of deep brain stimulation over lesions such as reversibility and tunability. New tools for creating therapeutic brain lesions such as high intensity focused ultrasound allow for lesions to be placed without a skin incision and are already in clinical use for tremor. Although there are limitations, and caution is warranted, improvements in lesion-based localization are refining our therapeutic targets and improved technology is providing new ways to create therapeutic lesions, which together may facilitate the return of the lesion.

    Abstract Individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) may exhibit a seasonal pattern. The impact of a seasonal pattern in depressive symptoms on rTMS outcomes is unexplored. A retrospective analysis was performed on patients with MDD receiving open-label high frequency rTMS to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Having a seasonal pattern was defined as scoring ≥ 12 on the Personal Inventory for Depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder (PIDS). Primary outcomes included improvement in the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) and remission. Secondary analyses included the use of the self-rated Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS) to assess for changes in atypical neurovegetative symptoms. Multiple linear regression, multiple logistic regression, and linear mixed effects analyses were performed. 46 % (58/127) of the sample had a seasonal pattern. Seasonal pattern did not significantly influence improvement in HAMD (PIDS < 12, 7.8, SD 5.9; PIDS ≥ 12, 10.4, SD 4.9 or remission (PIDS < 12, 30 %; PIDS ≥ 12, 34 %). There were equivalent degrees of improvement in atypical neurovegetative symptoms over time as assessed using the QIDS. Depression with seasonal pattern was found to respond to rTMS treatment similarly to depression without seasonal pattern, suggesting that this may be a viable treatment for this group.
