Sertraline modulates hippocampal plasticity via sigma 1 receptors, cellular stress and neurosteroids.

In addition to modulating serotonin transport, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have multiple other mechanisms that may contribute to clinical effects, and some of these latter actions prompt repurposing of SSRIs for non-psychiatric indications. In a recent study of the SSRIs fluvoxamine, fluoxetine and sertraline we found that, unlike the other two SSRIs, sertraline acutely inhibited LTP at a low micromolar concentration through inverse agonism of sigma 1 receptors (S1Rs). In the present studies, we pursued mechanisms contributing to sertraline modulation of LTP in rat hippocampal slices.

A circuit from lateral hypothalamic to dorsal hippocampal dentate gyrus modulates behavioral despair in mice.

Behavioral despair is one of the clinical manifestations of major depressive disorder and an important cause of disability and death. However, the neural circuit mechanisms underlying behavioral despair are poorly understood. In a well-established chronic behavioral despair (CBD) mouse model, using a combination of viral tracing, in vivo fiber photometry, chemogenetic and optogenetic manipulations, in vitro electrophysiology, pharmacological profiling techniques, and behavioral tests, we investigated the neural circuit mechanisms in regulating behavioral despair.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the potential clinical benefits of antidepressants (AD), specifically fluvoxamine, against COVID-19 and Long COVID, given their preclinical antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects.
  • A systematic review of literature identified 1016 articles, including a variety of studies that suggest fluvoxamine significantly reduces COVID-19 infections and severity, particularly when used early in treatment.
  • The findings indicate that fluvoxamine may lower mortality and hospitalization rates by 40-70% compared to standard care, with effectiveness linked to higher dosages, while maintaining a low risk of adverse effects similar to placebo.
