Dysfunctional glutamatergic neurotransmission has been proposed both, as a biological underpinning of mood disorder and as a target for rapid-acting antidepressant treatments. Total sleep deprivation and light therapy (TSD + LT) can prompt antidepressant response in drug-resistant bipolar depression. Here we explored the effects of TSD + LT on dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) glutamate and/or glutamine+glutamate (Glx) levels.

Abstract

Dysfunctional glutamatergic neurotransmission has been proposed both, as a biological underpinning of mood disorder and as a target for rapid-acting antidepressant treatments. Total sleep deprivation and light therapy (TSD + LT) can prompt antidepressant response in drug-resistant bipolar depression. Here we explored the effects of TSD + LT on dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) glutamate and/or glutamine+glutamate (Glx) levels.
