HHMI News Release: Molecule Provides a Missing Link in Understanding Depression
"Researchers have discovered a regulatory molecule that links faulty dopamine
signaling in the brain to the neural machinery that breaks down in people who
suffer from depression. The findings may explain why commonly prescribed
antidepressants can take weeks to work and why the drugs are ineffective for
some people. The researchers said their findings could open the way for the
development of antidepressant drugs with improved efficacy."
Research published in the July 29, 2005, issue of Cell.
