Summary

Story summary

A comprehensive analysis of gene expression in humans and rodents uncovers vital biological pathways that shape responses to fluoxetine, an antidepressant. Notably, immune pathways, especially toll-like receptor signaling, and neural mechanisms like GABAergic signaling were significantly affected. These insights deepen our understanding of antidepressant effects and pave the way for tailored depression treatments.
