Question 1

abnormal fnx of which brain region plays a role in the development of depression?

Answer 1

The frontal lobe is involved in humans’ ability to project future consequences of current actions.

Limbic system structures regulate emotion and memory (II), and the hypothalamus coordinates many hormones, some of which are involved in mood regulation (III). Therefore, abnormal functioning in any (or all) of the three could produce symptoms similar to depression.
