Tolerance and Cross-Tolerance among Psychedelic and Nonpsychedelic 5-HT2A Receptor Agonists in Mice.

TL;DR: Tolerance to HTR induced by psychedelics involves activation of the 5-HT2AR, is not observable upon repeated administration of nonpsychedelic 5- HT2AR agonists, and occurs via a signaling mechanism independent of β-arrestin-2.

Where do we go next in antidepressant drug discovery? A new generation of antidepressants: a pivotal role of AMPA receptor potentiation and mGlu2/3 receptor antagonism

TL;DR: The mechanism of action of these compounds suggests a strong glutamatergic component that involves the facilitation of AMPA receptor function, which appears to be relevant to the antidepressant pharmacology of this new class of drugs.

Antidepressant effects of ketamine in depressed patients

TL;DR: A first placebo-controlled, double-blinded trial to assess the treatment effects of a single dose of an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist in patients with depression suggests a potential role for NMDA receptor-modulating drugs in the treatment of depression.
