title: [Progress of monoaminergic receptor investigation on depression].
abstract: It is widely accepted that monoamine transmitters are playing an important role in the progress of depression. The functions of monoamine transmitters and their receptors change profoundly during depression and its treatment. This paper is attempted to review the new progress of investigation into serotonin receptors, adrenoceptors and dopamine receptors related with depression mechanism respectively.
