Background: Mood disorders are related to considerable morbidity and mortality, and although there is little doubt that they are brain-based disorders, their neural correlates still remain elusive. A neuro-anatomic model of mood regulation comprising the prefrontal cortex, amygdalahippocampus complex, thalamus, basal ganglia, and connections among these areas has been proposed.
