Excerpt

Beyond the conviction that Major Depression can found its origin in genetics [1‐3] a bio molecular mechanism could be hypothesized from what emerged from the studies on platelets fatty acid composition in human (normal and depressive subjects) which allowed classifying the depressive disorder [4] using an Artificial Neural Network (Self Organizing Map-SOM) [5], as mathematical tool, because of the complexity of the membrane dynamics. …
