Abstract
One of the most important advances in molecular neurobiology of relevance to the practicing psychiatrist is how an intracellular second messenger can "turn on" genes by activating first a protein kinase enzyme and then a transcription factor. Failure to turn on the right genes may lead to psychiatric illnesses. Causing the appropriate genes to turn on may be the therapeutic mechanism of action of many current and future psychotropic drugs.
