Single-dose administration of selective serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake blockers has been shown to alter emotional processing in both behavioral and fMRI studies in healthy volunteers. Mirtazapine is a clinically established antidepressant with different pharmacological actions from monoamine reuptake inhibitors, involving blockade of noradrenaline α(2)-adrenoceptors and multiple 5-HT receptor subtypes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a single dose of mirtazapine on the neural processing of emotional faces in healthy volunteers.
