Psilocybin showed a rapid antidepressant response in several clinical trials, which offers new hope for treating depression. Astrocytes were associated with the etiology of depression and might contribute to the onset of psilocybin. In this study, we investigated the fast antidepressant effect of psilocybin and tested variations of GFAP (astrocytic markers) and C3 protein (markers of A1...
The emerging antidepressant effects of ketamine have inspired tremendous interest in its underlying neurobiological mechanisms, although the involvement of 5-HT in the antidepressant effects of ketamine remains unclear. The chronic restraint stress procedure was performed to induce depression-like behaviours in mice. OFT, FST, TST, and NSFT tests were used to evaluate the antidepressant-like...
