Changes in glutamate signalling have been implicated in major depression, and ketamine, which was recently found to act as a rapid-acting antidepressant, affects glutamate signalling in several ways. Murrough and colleagues give an overview of the development of glutamate-signalling modulators for depression and examine studies on the mechanisms of these agents.
