Can Major Depression Improve the Perception of Visual Motion?

It has always been the promise of basic research to eventually bring its dearly earned knowledge to bear on practical matters. At the same time, it is understood that one should first get a good grasp of the complex workings of the healthy nervous system before being able to meaningfully treat its
