摘要
Antidepressants take a few weeks to act, and their effects can extend for months after the drugs are discontinued. Tsankova et al. suggest a possible molecular basis for these effects, by showing that stress and the antidepressant imipramine induce modifications of chromatin to produce more or less repressive states for gene expression.
