HAH never imagined my university would be featured in one of your articles!!! But yes, Zhejiang University is known all over china for the HUGE amount of papers that gets published every year!!
I read about this research in one of the newsletters I think. The key would be to find a way to specifically target the lateral habenula (I know this is much easier said than done), but a widespread blockade of NMDA to treat depression might have unforeseeable side effects, given glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter of the CNS. But blockade of NMDA receptors is already a known mechanism to prevent progression of neurodegenerative diseases, Who knows if this new line of research will link some underlying neurodegenerative process with depression.
