| Description | The available data on drug provocation tests in children with psychiatric disorders indicate their neurobiology may be different from that adults. Responsivity of the serotonergic system to antidepressant treatment could be affected by relative maturity. An age- related decline in the activity of noradrenergic neurons in the locus coeruleus has been documented. |
