What  is  depression?          

Low  mood  and  sadness  that  interferes  with  daily  life      Affects  6.7%  of  the  adult  populaKon  in  the  U.S.      A8ributable  to  geneKc,  biological,  environmental,  and  psychological  factors

Primary  goal  

 The  primary  goal  of  this  study  is  to  determine  how  the  light/dark  cycle  affects  dopamine  receptor  expression  as  well  as  how  natural  

products  such  as  valerian  affect  gene  expression

Which  model  organisms  should  we  use  to  study  depression?

Future  DirecKons  GeneKcs:  •  Further  invesKgate  the  role  of  dopamine  in  depression  and  other  natural  products  that  regulate  it  

•  Duplicate  specific  aim  experiments  with  the  addiKon  of  depression  trigger  events    

 Social  Work:  •  Educate  the  public  to  help  fight  the  mental  illness  sKgma  

•  Advocate  for  equal  access  to  mental  health  care
