## Caption

"A healthy neuron looks like a tree in spring, with lots of branches and leaves extending toward synaptic connections with other neurons. What happens in depression is there's a shriveling of these branches and these leaves and it looks like a tree in winter. And a drug like ketamine makes the tree look like one back in spring." - Carlos Zarate from the Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program at NIMH
