The coadministration of an NPY1R agonist and Ketamine in a rodent model demonstrated potentiated antidepressant responses through synergistic neurobiological pathways, including TrkB signaling and hippocampal neurogenesis. This indicates a novel therapeutic strategy for MDD, warranting further clinical investigation to fully understand its implications.
