New Brain Histamine Map Links Genetic Factors to Mental Health Disorders
Researchers at King’s College London and the University of Porto have developed a comprehensive map of the brain's histamine system, linking it to mental health and psychiatric disorders. Histamine, commonly associated with allergies, plays a crucial role in brain function. The study, published in Nature Mental Health, integrates molecular biology, brain imaging, and computational analysis to explore histamine's role in conditions like depression, ADHD, and schizophrenia. The research highlights histamine's influence on neurotransmitter systems and its potential as a target for new treatments. The study was funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre.
