Serotonergic targets in depression.
Abstract
Serotonin reuptake inhibitors have proved to be a very effective treatment for depression and have strengthened the hypothesis that impaired 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) neurotransmission may contribute to the underlying cause of depressive disorders. Extensive research has been carried out to investigate other 5-HT targets associated with the disease and studies involving combination treatments with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and 5-HT(1A) receptor ligands are currently being carried out in the clinic. Whether other 5-HT receptor subtypes are involved in the aetiology of depression remains to be seen.

5-HT transmission in the hippocampus is disrupted in schizophrenia and MDD, and this dysfunction is likely to contribute to deficits in learning and memory in these disorders.
“5-HT transmission in the hippocampus is disrupted in schizophrenia and MDD (Naughton et al., 2000; Middlemiss et al., 2002) and this 5-HT dysfunction is likely to contribute deficits in learning and memory in these disorders (Meeter et al., 2006; Gray and Roth, 2007).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
