What does TCA stand for?

[confused]

In a lecture on the reticular formation, my notes say

AROUSAL (Ascending Reticular Activating System is a physiological concept based on neuronal networks producing arousal effects on the brain. Pontine acetylcholine cells stimulate TCAs.

Any idea?

Thanks

Hi
Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCAs) are so-called because of their molecular structure, which contains three rings of atoms. They act mainly by inhibiting the reuptake of both norepinephrine and serotonin. Other receptors that might also experience a TCA induced inhibition are muscuranic, alpha1 adrenergic, and histaminic receptors.
