title: Animal study on the role of serotonin in depression.
abstract: 1. In our series of experiments the role of serotonin in human depression was studied by using animal models of depression. 2. The results of these studies support the hypothesis that some types of human depression may be primarily due to an excessive transmission of serotonin at the synapse.
