Gestalt psychology

Hippocampal HCN channels are more highly expressed in people with major depressive disorder. Antidepressants that increase cAMP signaling interfere with TRIP8b's ability to bind to HCN channels, helping to restore cognitive ability in those with MDD.

Gestalt Therapy is a humanistic form of psychotherapy that emphasizes personal responsibility and focuses on the individual's experience in the present moment, the therapist-client relationship, and the environmental and social contexts of a person's life. It prioritizes holistic understanding and integration of thoughts, feelings, and actions.

The Gestalt principles of visual perception describe how our brains make sense of what we see. For example, they explain how we associate a photo with the text of a newspaper article or understand a series of words as a sentence on a billboard. These principles originated from the field of Gestalt psychology in the early twentieth century. More big ideas explained in little pictures in my book Big Ideas Little Pictures. Check it out.
