Summary of "Higher frontal EEG synchronization in young women with major depression: a marker for increased homeostatic sleep pressure?"

Depression
Depressive states usually of moderate intensity in contrast with major depression present in neurotic and psychotic disorders.

EEG phase synchronization of the cortical brain region (CEREBRAL CORTEX).
Imipramine
The prototypical tricyclic antidepressant. It has been used in major depression, dysthymia, bipolar depression, attention-deficit disorders, agoraphobia, and panic disorders. It has less sedative effect than some other members of this therapeutic group.
Tranylcypromine
A propylamine formed from the cyclization of the side chain of amphetamine. This monoamine oxidase inhibitor is effective in the treatment of major depression, dysthymic disorder, and atypical depression. It also is useful in panic and phobic disorders. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p311)
