In certain animal models of depression, neurogenesis is reduced, whereas many treatments for depression promote neurogenesis. Research between the relationship of depressive-like behavior and neurogenesis in three animal models of depression with high validity: learned helplessness, chronic mild stress and chronic psychosocial. The results of these studies argued against the notion that decreases of neurogenesis are the cause or the consequence of depressive-like behavior since depressive-like behavior can occur without impairments in neurogenesis and decreasing neurogenesis does not necessarily lead to depressive-like behavior. This suggests that neurogenesis does not directly control affect but is tightly connected to the modulation of affect by stress and antidepressant measures. Thank you Regards Dawn Pugh Hi Dr. Shock,
