depression, it can be hard to find the right one.
While researching neurotransmitters, scientists at the Herbert Wertheim UF
Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation and Technology made a discovery
that identified how an amino acid is connected to depression.
The discovery was based on more than a decade’s worth of research to learn
more about how brain cell signaling works. While finding a link to
depression was not the goal of the initial research, the scientists are
excited about their findings since they could shape the future of
depression treatments.In a study that spanned 15 years, researchers at the
University of Florida learned how a receptor called GPR158 functions in
relation to depression.
In a study of mice that experienced suppression of GPR158, they were less
likely to have stress-induced depression.
