    Thomas I F H Cremers
    Brains on Line, Antonius Deusinglaan 1, Groningen, The Netherlands
    Neuropsychopharmacology 32:1550-7. 2007

    Int J Neuropsychopharmacol 12:895-904. 2009
    ..The decreased [11C]verapamil uptake correlates with an increased function of the P-gp protein and may be related to chronic use of psychotropic drugs. Our results may explain why treatment-resistant depression can develop...
