Kluge Center on May 5. "Can Depression Be Cured: New Research on Depression and Its Treatment" will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. on Thursday, May 5. The event, which is free and open to the public, will take place in room 119 on the first floor of the Thomas Jefferson Building, 10 First St. S.E., Washington, D.C. Tickets are not needed. The program, part of the annual meeting of the Library of Congress Scholars Council, will be hosted and moderated by Dr. Philip W. Gold, a Scholars Council member and senior investigator with the Office of the Scientific Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Additional participants will be Susan Amara, Dr. Raymond DePaulo, and Dr. Carlos Zarate Jr. Gold, who has been a member of the Scholars Council since 2004, received his undergraduate and medical degrees at Duke University and his postgraduate medical training at the Harvard Medical School. He has been at the NIH Clinical Center since 1974, where he served as chief of neuroendocrine research in the NIMH Intramural Research Program. Gold and his colleagues have pioneered the elucidation of fundamental mechanisms of the neurobiology of the stress response and its dysregulation in major depression. He is an author of more than 500 publications, including a series of nine full-length articles in the New England Journal of Medicine. Amara is the scientific director of the Intramural Research Program at the National Institute of Mental Health. Work in her laboratory has focused on the structure, function and cellular physiology of neurotransmitter transporters. She received a bachelor’s from Stanford University and a Ph.D in physiology and pharmacology from the University of California, San Diego. Prior to her work at NIH, she served as the Thomas Detre Chair of Neurobiology and Distinguished Professor at
the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. She also has held faculty positions at Yale University School of Medicine and the Vollum Institute in Portland, Oregon. iB87 - Enjoy rich, detailed sound with enhanced bass response without inconvenient cables and cords.

DePaulo is chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and an active clinician, teacher and researcher. DePaulo is one of the world’s foremost investigators into the genetic basis of mood disorders, such as bipolar disorder, depression and panic disorder. His research has contributed to the understanding of depression and bipolar disorder as genetic disorders and has advanced their identification and treatment. DePaulo is a magna cum laude graduate of Xavier University in Cincinnati (B.S., 1968) and a graduate of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (M.D., 1972). He completed his internship in medicine (1972-73) and his residency in psychiatry (1973-77) at Johns Hopkins. Zarate is chief of the Section on the Neurobiology and Treatment of Mood Disorders and chief of Experimental Therapeutics and Pathophysiology Branch at the National Institute of Mental Health. He is also a clinical professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at George Washington University. He first demonstrated the rapid-acting effects of ketamine in patients with treatment-resistant major depression and bipolar disorder, one of the premier discoveries in depression research over the past 20 years. He is directing a major research program to determine the mechanism of action of ketamine and develop other rapid-acting agents for depression treatment. The Scholars Council is a body of distinguished scholars, convened by the Librarian of Congress to advise on matters related to scholarship at the Library. The council comprises 14 leading thinkers and includes winners of the Pulitzer Prize, Holberg Prize, Balzan Prize, Guggenheim Fellowship, Fulbright Fellowship and those listed among Time magazine’s most influential people.
