Novel finding shows that brain cells conduct antidepressant action even in the absence of activity
Genetic test better than blood test for cardiovascular diseases
30 August 2021At least 80% of opioid overdoses aren’t fatal. How do they affect the brain?
30 August 2021Novel finding shows that brain cells conduct antidepressant action even in the absence of activity
Researchers are one step closer to understanding the physiology of antidepressant action in the brain. They have confirmed that even when brain cells are not active, they trigger protein production that affects the function of cells and neural circuits. The work was conducted in the labs of Ege Kavalali, professor and acting chair of the Department of Pharmacology and William Stokes Chair in Experimental Therapeutics, and Lisa Monteggia, professor of pharmacology.
