According to the decades-old neurotrophic hypothesis of depression, the delayed actions of antidepressants are purported to be due to their downstream effects on neuronal plasticity. In a recent study, Casarotto et al. reveal that antidepressants can in fact directly bind to the neurotrophin TRKB receptor and exert their effects through this mechanism.
根据抑郁症的数十年历史的神经营养假说,抗抑郁药的延迟作用据称是由于它们对神经元可塑性的下游影响。在最近的一项研究中,Casarotto 等人发现,抗抑郁药实际上可以直接与神经营养因子 TRKB 受体结合,并通过这种机制发挥作用。
