A Ventral Prefrontal-Amygdala Neural System in Bipolar Disorder: A View from Neuroimaging Research.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Mazindol is a sympathomimetic amine, widely used as an anorectic agent in the treatment of obesity. This drug causes psychostimulant effects because of its pharmacological profile similar to amphetamine, acting like a monoamine reuptake inhibitor. However, the mechanisms underlying the action of mazindol are...
