Global Perspectives on CNS Drug Innovation: Achievements, Barriers, and Priorities for the Next Decade

The International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology May 5, 2026 Hiroyuki Uchida, Gabriella Gobbi, Joseph Zohar et al.

BACKGROUND: Over the past decade, neuropsychopharmacology has shifted from stagnation to momentum, with first-in-class mechanisms and biomarker-enabled trials spanning psychiatry and neurology. METHODS: We narratively synthesized advances from 2013 to 2026 across central nervous system (CNS) discovery and development, including pivotal trials, regulatory actions, digital/real-world evidence,...

Ketamine for negative and depressive symptoms in schizophrenia: the evidence so far.

Frontiers in Psychiatry 2026 C M Diendorfer, C Bum, A Weidenauer et al.

Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a severe psychiatric condition characterized by positive symptoms such as hallucinations or delusions, as well as negative symptoms such as apathy, anhedonia and avolition. Given their chronic nature and limited response to current treatments, managing negative symptoms is a significant challenge for healthcare providers. Furthermore, many individuals with SCZ suffer from...

Perspectives in treatment-resistant depression: esketamine and electroconvulsive therapy.

Wiener klinische Wochenschrift March 1, 2025 Pia Baldinger-Melich, Marie Spies, Ina Bozic et al. 5 citations

Modern electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and the approval of nasal esketamine for clinical use have significantly improved the approach to treatment-resistant depression (TRD), which is defined as non-response to at least two different courses of antidepressants with verified adherence to treatment, adequate dosage, and duration of treatment. The goal of this literature review is to present the...

Morphological correlates of anxiety-related experiences during a ketamine infusion.

The world journal of biological psychiatry : the official journal of the World Federation of Societies of Biological Psychiatry November 1, 2024 Samantha Graf, Gregor Dörl, Christian Milz et al. 2 citations

Ketamine exerts rapid antidepressant effects by enhancing neuroplasticity, particularly in the amygdala and hippocampus-regions involved in fear processing and learning. While the role of ketamine's dissociative effects in its antidepressant response is debated, anxiety experienced during infusion has been negatively correlated with treatment outcomes. In this single-blind, placebo-controlled...

A pharmacological model for psychosis based on N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor hypofunction: molecular, cellular, functional and behavioral abnormalities.

Biological Psychiatry April 15, 2006 Dan Rujescu, Andreas Bender, Martin Keck et al.

The psychotomimetic effects of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists such as phencyclidine (PCP) in healthy humans and their ability to exacerbate psychotic symptoms in schizophrenic patients have promoted a view of schizophrenia as being related to altered glutamatergic neurotransmission. This prompted us and others to develop animal models for psychosis based on a glutamatergic...
