Long-term Depression

Long-term Depression

Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Summary

Veterans in jail or prison may face higher suicide risks than other groups. More research is needed to understand this vulnerable population and prevent incarcerated veteran suicide.

Background:

Both veterans and incarcerated individuals have elevated suicide risks.
The specific suicide risk for incarcerated veterans remains largely unquantified.
Existing literature lacks detailed data on this high-risk subpopulation.

Discussion:

Incarcerated veterans represent a critical intersection of two vulnerable groups.
Overlapping characteristics suggest a compounded suicide risk.
Current research is insufficient to estimate the suicide rate in this population.

Key Insights:

The suicide risk for incarcerated veterans is not well-defined by current literature.
Veteran status and incarceration independently increase suicide risk.
Combined, these factors may lead to a uniquely elevated risk.

Outlook:

There is a critical need to characterize the incarcerated veteran population.
Future research should focus on quantifying suicide rates and risk factors.
Clinical practice must consider the unique needs of incarcerated veterans.
