UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009474	Neurons	The basic cellular units of nervous tissue. Each neuron consists of a body, an axon, and dendrites. Their purpose is to receive, conduct, and transmit impulses in the NERVOUS SYSTEM.	Nerve Cells,Cell, Nerve,Cells, Nerve,Nerve Cell,Neuron
D011437	Propylamines	Derivatives of propylamine (the structural formula NH2CH2CH2CH3).
D005473	Fluoxetine	The first highly specific serotonin uptake inhibitor. It is used as an antidepressant and often has a more acceptable side-effects profile than traditional antidepressants.	Fluoxetin,Fluoxetine Hydrochloride,Lilly-110140,N-Methyl-gamma-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)benzenepropanamine,Prozac,Sarafem,Lilly 110140,Lilly110140
D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000929	Antidepressive Agents, Tricyclic	Substances that contain a fused three-ring moiety and are used in the treatment of depression. These drugs block the uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin into axon terminals and may block some subtypes of serotonin, adrenergic, and histamine receptors. However, the mechanism of their antidepressant effects is not clear because the therapeutic effects usually take weeks to develop and may reflect compensatory changes in the central nervous system.

D013237	Stereoisomerism	The phenomenon whereby compounds whose molecules have the same number and kind of atoms and the same atomic arrangement, but differ in their spatial relationships. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 5th ed)	Molecular Stereochemistry,Stereoisomers,Stereochemistry, Molecular,Stereoisomer
D013574	Synaptosomes	Pinched-off nerve endings and their contents of vesicles and cytoplasm together with the attached subsynaptic area of the membrane of the post-synaptic cell. They are largely artificial structures produced by fractionation after selective centrifugation of nervous tissue homogenates.	Synaptosome
D015394	Molecular Structure	The location of the atoms, groups or ions relative to one another in a molecule, as well as the number, type and location of covalent bonds.	Structure, Molecular,Molecular Structures,Structures, Molecular
D017367	Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors	Compounds that specifically inhibit the reuptake of serotonin in the brain.	5-HT Uptake Inhibitor,5-HT Uptake Inhibitors,5-Hydroxytryptamine Uptake Inhibitor,5-Hydroxytryptamine Uptake Inhibitors,SSRIs,Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor,Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor,Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors,Serotonin Uptake Inhibitor,Serotonin Uptake Inhibitors,Inhibitors, 5-HT Uptake,Inhibitors, 5-Hydroxytryptamine Uptake,Inhibitors, Serotonin Reuptake,Inhibitors, Serotonin Uptake,Reuptake Inhibitors, Serotonin,Uptake Inhibitors, 5-HT,Uptake Inhibitors, 5-Hydroxytryptamine,Uptake Inhibitors, Serotonin,Inhibitor, 5-HT Uptake,Inhibitor, 5-Hydroxytryptamine Uptake,Inhibitor, Serotonin Reuptake,Inhibitor, Serotonin Uptake,Reuptake Inhibitor, Serotonin,Uptake Inhibitor, 5-HT,Uptake Inhibitor, 5-Hydroxytryptamine,Uptake Inhibitor, Serotonin
