Study Notes
Noradrenergic and Serotonergic Antidepressants
- Tricyclic antidepressants are used to treat neuropathic pain.
- Examples of tricyclic antidepressants include amitriptyline, doxepin, and imipramine.
- These antidepressants work by inhibiting the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin.
Local Inhibitory Interneurons
- Local inhibitory interneurons release GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) and glycine.
- GABA and glycine are involved in inhibitory functions in the nervous system.
