Session Summary

There is no fee for this activity.
 
Our understanding of the neurobiology of depression has drastically expanded in recent years, and there is increasing recognition that the neurobiological substrates of depression go beyond the monoaminergic circuits. The frequency of treatment-resistance to first-line anti-depressants has spurred research into novel molecular targets and neural circuits for depression, as well as the development of an array of novel anti-depressants that act outside the traditional monoaminergic circuitry. Glutamatergic neurotransmission, along with modulation of the reward system via opioid receptors and beta endorphins, in fact all appear to play a key role in the pathophysiology of depression. 
 
In this presentation, Dr. Patrick Finley and Dr. Leslie Citrome will provide an update on novel antidepressant treatments that are recently available or in development, including the mechanisms of action that are thought to underlie their potential antidepressant effects.
