Stress is an important risk factor for neuropsychiatric disorders such as major depression, but the underlying biological mechanisms remain largely unclear. A recent study has revealed a mechanism that regulates neuronal metabolism and mitochondrial function, and thereby drives stress susceptibility and disease outcomes.
