    'they injected the dorsal raphe of the mice with an adeno-associated virus (AAV)'
    might be clearer if it read
    '... with a modified adeno-associated virus (AAV)'
    {i.e., gene therapy}

    The journal article is paywalled, but the preprint is available:

    " Thus, prompt fluoxetine
    may block the transmitter switch in the 5-HTlwDR by blocking glucocorticoid receptor-mediated
    gene transcription in 5-HTlwDR neurons. We found that treatment with fluoxetine two weeks after
    footshock did not block transmitter switching and acquisition of generalized fear. The short time
    window for effective therapy may explain why PTSD patients with long histories of this disorder
    are less responsive to SSRIs (56)"

  4. CW: usage of psychologically active pharmaceutical

    Evidence suggests that I forgot to take my #fluoxetine (Prozac) last night.

    (I thought I had, but the bottle was still upside-down -- I turn it right-side up after taking it at night, and then upside-down again in the morning, just so every time I'm in there I do something with it -- and I'm feeling more anxious than usual today, so... that's two pieces of evidence going against my never-super-reliable memory.)

    While I do feel more anxious, I also feel more clear-headed and better able to focus. We'll see how this plays out for the rest of the day... it's the afternoons when I'm more likely to have to nap in order to recover my concentration.

    ...and more motivated, too... that was always a thing that I noticed about being on it: motivation was much more tenuous, and needed more #methylphenidate (Ritalin) to power up.

    (Does this mean I have to feel anxious in order to feel motivated?)

  5. I'll just put this out there.
