Mukadam et al. (2008) report cholinesterase inhibitors to be effective in treating delirium. This suggests that cholinesterase inhibitors have a broader spectrum of effect than the treatment of dementia alone. Acetylcholine itself interacts with various other neurotransmitters. Cancelli et al. (2004) report that a fall in acetylcholine levels, as occurs in dementia, could increase sensitivity t...

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a significant public health problem. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the only FDA-approved medications for OCD. However, SSRIs are of limited efficacy in clinical practice. Given the persistence of symptoms and levels of treatment response, it is clear that the serotonin paradigm of OCD does not fully account for the neurobiology of the...

Thanks for reaching out ? hopefully after this response, you may feel more prepared than perplexed! Prozac (generic name: fluoxetine) is an antidepressant that falls into a family of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). These types of medications are used to treat depression because they affect how the brain absorbs serotonin (a chemical that transmits impulses between ...

BACKGROUND Depression is a common non-motor symptom in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). There are many kinds of antidepressants being used, such as tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and Dopamine agonists which are suggested as alternative antidepressants for the treatment of depress...

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the most commonly used class of antidepressant drugs, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which their therapeutic action is initiated are poorly understood. Here we show that serotonin 5-HT1B receptors in cholecystokinin (CCK) inhibitory interneurons of the mammalian dentate gyrus (DG) initiate the therapeutic response to antidepressa...
