Since its discovery 50 years ago, the role of the indoleamine 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine; serotonin) in the pathogenesis of depression and in the mechanism of action of antidepressant drugs has been the subject of considerable research. Advances in molecular biology and radioligand techniques have le

## Abstract Recent evidence suggests that neuronal plasticity plays an important role in the recovery from depression. Antidepressant drugs and electroconvulsive shock treatment increase the expression of several molecules, which are associated with neuronal plasticity, in particular the neurotroph
## Abstract ## Objective Several investigations have suggested that alterations in serotonin 6 (5βHT6) receptors might be associated with the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD), and that 5βHT6 receptors might be a therapeutic target for serotonin selective reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)
## Abstract The Ο~1~ receptor is a unique intracellular receptor whose activation results in an efficient modulation of several neurotransmitter responses. Its role as a target for the rapid nongenomic effects of neuro(active)steroids and the ageβrelated diminutions in steroid levels suggested that
It is well known that activated prophenoloxidase (proPo) plays an important role in cuticular melanization and sclerotization. In addition, studies dealing with immune response of insects suggest that phenoloxidase (PO) is also critical in the defense reactions of insects against invaders. proPo is
