Although tricyclic antidepressants amoxapine is proposed to target 5-HT and D2 receptors, very few studies have addressed the effect of amoxapine on molecular and cellular mechanisms via receptor pathways. In this study, we test the effect of amoxapine on rat cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) to address this possibility.
