The astrocytes in the prefrontal cortex contribute to the rapid antidepressant-like effects of psilocybin in the chronic restraint stress mouse model

Progress in Neuro-psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry April 1, 2026 Yong-xing Qiao, Wei Dai, Yi-shan Yao et al. 1 citation

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...

Serotonergic transmission plays differentiated roles in the rapid and sustained antidepressant-like effects of ketamine.

British Journal of Pharmacology December 1, 2024 Yong-Yu Yin, Jiao-Zhao Yan, Qian-Qian Wei et al. 13 citations

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...
