Talk:5-HTTLPR
why would the S/S polymorphism be associated with depression if it infact causes more serotonin in the synaptic cleft? It acts like an SSRI? What is the mechanism of this relationship?
Technically beyond the scope of a wikipedia talk page, but the "serotonergic model" of depression is not foolproof. Other neurotransmitters also take part. For example, enhancing dopamine can also successfully treat depression. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:BDED:C710:3C2D:E249:B47E:5501 (talk) 15:13, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
Suspected plagiarism
The penultimate sentence (specifically "we would expect that those replication studies which are closest in design to the original are the most likely to replicate—instead we find the opposite.") appears to be ripped straight out of an analysis or research article based on usage of "we" as a personal pronoun. The tone and style is inappropriate for a Wikipedia article. I would edit it, but I am not sufficiently versed in the subject to do so. Thor214 (talk) 22:57, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
