Neural effects of a single dose of fluoxetine on resting-state functional connectivity in adolescent depression
(2020-11)
Fluoxetine is commonly prescribed in adolescent depression, but the neural mechanisms underlying its action remain poorly understood. Here, we used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the ...
A single dose of fluoxetine reduces neural limbic responses to anger in depressed adolescents
(2019-01-21)
Depression in adolescence is frequently characterised by symptoms of irritability. Fluoxetine is the antidepressant with
the most favourable benefit:risk ratio profile to treat adolescent depression, but the neural ...
The knowns and unknowns of SSRI treatment in young people with depression and anxiety: efficacy, predictors, and mechanisms of action
(2021-08)
The use of SSRIs for the treatment of depression and anxiety in young people is increasing. However, the effects of SSRIs in adolescence, a time when there are substantial changes in neural, cognitive, and social functioning, ...
Déjà-vu? Neural and behavioural effects of the 5-HT 4 receptor agonist, prucalopride, in a hippocampal-dependent memory task
(2021-10)
Cognitive deficits commonly accompany psychiatric disorders but are often underrecognised, and difficult to treat. The 5-HT4 receptor is a promising potential treatment target for cognitive impairment because in animal ...
Acute neural effects of fluoxetine on emotional regulation in depressed adolescents
(2022-05)
Adolescent major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with disrupted processing of emotional stimuli and difficulties in cognitive reappraisal. Little is known however about how current pharmacotherapies act to modulate ...
Translating the promise of 5HT4 receptor agonists for the treatment of depression
(2020-02)
Animal experimental studies suggest that 5-HT4 receptor activation holds promise as a novel
target for the treatment of depression and cognitive impairment. 5-HT4 receptors are postsynaptic
receptors that are located in ...
