A recent study, published in Neuropsychopharmacology, conducted by researchers from the University of Helsinki and the University of Eastern Finland, sheds light on the mechanisms of neural plasticity induced by the antidepressant fluoxetine.

“For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved playing around with makeup. My mum had me when she was 21 and I remember her being quite experimental with her make-up during the early ’90s; thin brows and lined lips included.
