Mechanism-guided identification of antidepressant G protein-coupled receptor drug targets.

Cell April 30, 2026 Hermany Munguba, Anisul Arefin, Ryota Hasegawa et al. 4 citations

Depression is driven by dysfunction in discrete neural circuits, but a deeper understanding of the underlying molecular and synaptic mechanisms is needed to guide the development of therapeutics. Here, we decipher the mechanisms of action of the fast-acting antidepressant ketamine to enable the identification of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) antidepressant targets. We find that the...

Psilocybin restrains activity-based anorexia in female rats by enhancing cognitive flexibility: contributions from 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptor mechanisms

Molecular Psychiatry April 27, 2024 Kyna Conn, L K Milton, K Huang et al. 44 citations

Abstract Psilocybin has shown promise for alleviating symptoms of depression and is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of anorexia nervosa (AN), a condition that is characterised by persistent cognitive inflexibility. Considering that enhanced cognitive flexibility after psilocybin treatment is reported to occur in individuals with depression, it is plausible that psilocybin could...
