Thanks.Interesting. That is the second abstract I have seen that casts doubt on the need for 5-HT1a receptor upregulation to produce an antidepressant response.
It is an easy argument to make that the probable heterogeneity of diatheses of phenotypic depressions allows for multiple mechanisms to be contributory to a therapeutic effect across the population. Post mortem studies of humans with MDD have demonstrated reduced 5-HT1a binding.
There are so many different reported biological correlates of Axis I affective disorders, it is difficult to invest in any one of them.
