Abstract
One group of so-called antidepressants belongs to the monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors. It therefore seemed instructive to examine the correlation between the chemical and functional changes induced in the brain by monoamine oxidase inhibitors and to ask how these are related to an antidepressant action.
