Scientific Abstract
Serotonergic psychedelics represent a potential breakthrough in therapy of several neuropsychiatric disorders. Here we focus on the molecular mechanisms underlying their action on neuronal level, specifically aiming to elucidate their effects on presynaptic function that governs neurotransmitter release, and how these relate to neuronal activity and neuroplasticity. Our results will provide important mechanistic insight into the action of these putative rapid-acting antidepressants.
