[tips] To Good Ole Boys in Tipsville
As luck would have it, I recently returned Florida, having been on a bluegrass cruise to the Bahamas. (Really.) And aside from having no interest in watching auto racing, I have even less interest in playing Dueling Banjos. One can't play a bar gig without someone calling for the band to play that tune. That's usually right before some drunk calls out for you to play Tocky Rop (sic). Ed Edward I.

[tips] Bye-bye Monoamine Hypothesis?
Most of the time when we teach about the biological basis of major depression, we make use of the monoamine hypothesis that asserts that clinical depression is due to an imbalance in the monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine -- this view is supported by the results of treatment of depression with drugs that prevent the reuptake of these neurotransmitters. For more on this point and additional support, see the Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin%E2%80%93norepinephrine%E2%80%93dopamine_reuptake_inhibitor#Monoamine_Hypothesis However, there is a major problem with this hypothesis: it is well known that the changes in synaptic function related to the inhibition of monoamine reuptake usually take place in about 72 hours but changes in mood and behavior, if there are any, usually do not appear until 4-6 week of treatment. This has led some theorists to argue that the effect of monoamine reuptake inhibition is indirect, affecting some other process involving some other neurochemicals. But which neurochemicals? Various ones have been suggested and there is new research that provides support for the neurochemical RAC1. Medscape has a popular media account of the (Potential Cause of Depression Identified by Megan Brooks, Feb 19, 2013) but I believe one may have to have a Medscape account to access it. Registration is free but some may not want to bother with it. At this point in time (Friday night, 2/22) there are no other popular media account but I assume that it is a matter of time before there are. In the meantime, the research was published in the journal Nature Medicine and the abstract can be read here: http://www.nature.com/nm/journal/vaop/ncurrent/abs/nm.3090.html The article is not available for free but may be available through your institution. The reference for the article is: Golden, Sam A., Christoffel, Daniel J., Heshmati, Mitra, Hodes, Georgia E., Magida, Jane, Davis, Keithara, . . . Russo, Scott J. (2013).

Nat Med, advance online publication. doi: http://www.nature.com/nm/journal/vaop/ncurrent/abs/nm.3090.html#supplementary-information For more on the biochemical class of agents that RAC1 belongs to, see the Wikipedia entry on Rho famile of GTPases: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rho_family_of_GTPases and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rac1 If Scott Russo, the researcher who directed the researcher, is correct, we may have to leave a lot more neurochemistry. -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.
