Abstract excerpt
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) are aimed at increasing brain 5-HT tone; however, this expected effect has a slow onset after starting SSRI treatment because of initial activation of 5-HT(1A) autoreceptor-mediated negative feedback of 5-HT release. After chronic SSRI treatment, 5-HT(1A) autoreceptors desensitize, which allows 5-HT tone elevation. Because 5-HT(1A) receptor (5-HT(1A)R)...
