The therapy of depression is prevalently based on monoamine reuptake blockers; consequently, investigations aimed to clarify the aetiology of depression have mostly looked at brain areas innervated by monamines and brain circuitry involved in inputs and outputs of these areas. The recent approval of...

Methods This was a multi-center, double-blind, twostage,...

The formulation costs around $600 per dose while plain injected ketamine, on which most research has been done, costs less than $20 per dose. Research shows that intranasal esketamine is less effective and has more unwanted effects than injected...
