The Behavioral Effects of the Antidepressant Tianeptine Require the Mu-Opioid Receptor

Reads0

TLDR
Interestingly, while tianeptine also produces many opiate-like behavioral effects such as analgesia and reward, it does not lead to tolerance or withdrawal, which points to the possibility that MOR and its downstream signaling cascades may be novel targets for antidepressant drug development.

Attenuation of Antidepressant Effects of Ketamine by Opioid Receptor Antagonism.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that ketamine's acute antidepressant effect requires opioid system activation, and the dissociative effects of ketamine are not mediated by the opioid system, and they do not appear sufficient without the opioid effect to produce the acute antidepressant effects ofketamine in adults with treatment-resistant depression.

Treatment resistant depression: A multi-scale, systems biology approach.

TL;DR: A multi‐scale framework for fundamental research on depression is proposed, aimed at identifying the brain circuits that are dysfunctional in several animal models of depression as well the changes in gene expression that are associated with these models.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of 5-HT receptors in depression

TL;DR: The role of serotonin in three distinct hypotheses that have been proposed over the last several decades to explain the pathophysiology of depression are revisited: the monoamine, neurotrophic, and neurogenic hypotheses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toward Circuit Mechanisms of Pathophysiology in Depression.

TL;DR: Functional neuroimaging studies in humans have included largely task-oriented experiments that have identified brain regions differentially activated during processing of affective stimuli, and resting-state functional MRI experiments, which have identifiedbrain-wide networks altered in depressive states.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain mechanisms mediating effects of stress on reward sensitivity.

TL;DR: Together, this cross-species confluence has enriched the understanding of stress-reward links but also highlighted the role of neuropeptides and opioid receptors in such effects, and thereby identified novel targets for stress-related neuropsychiatric disorders.

Requirement of Hippocampal Neurogenesis for the Behavioral Effects of Antidepressants

TL;DR: It is shown that disrupting antidepressant-induced neurogenesis blocks behavioral responses to antidepressants, suggesting that the behavioral effects of chronic antidepressants may be mediated by the stimulation of neuroGenesis in the hippocampus.

Behavioral despair in mice: a primary screening test for antidepressants

TL;DR: The mouse procedure is more rapid and less costly than that with rats and is thus more suitable for the primary screening of antidepressant drugs, suggesting that the procedure is selectively sensitive to antidepressant treatments.

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.

A Randomized Trial of an N-methyl-D-aspartate Antagonist in Treatment-Resistant Major Depression

TL;DR: Robust and rapid antidepressant effects resulted from a single intravenous dose of an N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonist; onset occurred within 2 hours postinfusion and continued to remain significant for 1 week.
