• Sex hormones affect neurotransmitters and shape the adult female brain during hormonal transition periods (2015, background): “Martinowich and Lu hypothesize that an increase in extracellular 5-HT, for instance after SSRI use, might increase BDNF levels because inhibition of 5-HTT facilitates serotonergic transmission through 5-HT4,6,7 receptor subtypes (Martinowich and Lu, 2008).”
