Change From Baseline in Total Sleep Time (TST) After 4 Weeks of Treatment, Based on PSG Measurement.
Baseline and Week 4.

Total sleep time (TST) is defined as the total time in minutes, that subjects were determined to be in a sleep state by polysomnography (PSG) measurement.

Distribution volume (VT)
Venous blood samples for determination of concentrations of AZD5213 in plasma will be taken on many occasions from pre-dose until 48 h post-dose. Single PET measurement will take maximum 2 hours.
Estimation of the plasma concentration resulting in 50% receptor occupancy (Ki, pl).
Venous blood samples for determination of concentrations of AZD5213 in plasma will be taken on many occasions from pre-dose until 48 h post-dose.

Each healthy volunteer in the main panel will complete 3 PET measurements using radioligand; one at baseline and 2 after treatment with AZD5213.

Adverse events, vital signs, physical (including neurological) examinations, clinical laboratory variables, electrocardiograms, telemetry, sleep diary (temporal and qualitative aspects), and the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale
AE will be collected from admission on Day -1 until follow-up
