Requirement of Hippocampal Neurogenesis for the Behavioral Effects of Antidepressants
- L. Santarelli, M. Saxe, +9 authors R. Hen
- Medicine
- Science
- 8 August 2003
Various chronic antidepressant treatments increase adult hippocampal neurogenesis, but the functional importance of this phenomenon remains unclear. Here, using genetic and radiological methods, we… Expand
Increasing adult hippocampal neurogenesis is sufficient to improve pattern separation
- A. Sahay, Kimberly N. Scobie, +6 authors R. Hen
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 18 January 2011
Adult hippocampal neurogenesis is a unique form of neural circuit plasticity that results in the generation of new neurons in the dentate gyrus throughout life. Neurons that arise in adults… Expand
An in vivo correlate of exercise-induced neurogenesis in the adult dentate gyrus
- A. C. Pereira, Dan E Huddleston, +7 authors S. Small
- Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 27 March 2007
With continued debate over the functional significance of adult neurogenesis, identifying an in vivo correlate of neurogenesis has become an important goal. Here we rely on the coupling between… Expand
Neurogenesis-Dependent and -Independent Effects of Fluoxetine in an Animal Model of Anxiety/Depression
- D. David, B. Samuels, +13 authors R. Hen
- Psychology, Medicine
- Neuron
- 28 May 2009
Understanding the physiopathology of affective disorders and their treatment relies on the availability of experimental models that accurately mimic aspects of the disease. Here we describe a mouse… Expand
Ablation of hippocampal neurogenesis impairs contextual fear conditioning and synaptic plasticity in the dentate gyrus
- M. Saxe, F. Battaglia, +9 authors M. Drew
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 14 November 2006
Although hippocampal neurogenesis has been described in many adult mammals, the functional impact of this process on physiology and behavior remains unclear. In the present study, we used two… Expand
Serotonin1A receptor acts during development to establish normal anxiety-like behaviour in the adult
Serotonin is implicated in mood regulation, and drugs acting via the serotonergic system are effective in treating anxiety and depression. Specifically, agonists of the serotonin1A receptor have… Expand
Early-Life Blockade of the 5-HT Transporter Alters Emotional Behavior in Adult Mice
- M. Ansorge, M. Zhou, A. Lira, R. Hen, J. Gingrich
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 29 October 2004
Reduced serotonin transporter (5-HTT) expression is associated with abnormal affective and anxiety-like symptoms in humans and rodents, but the mechanism of this effect is unknown. Transient… Expand
Effects of Chronic Fluoxetine in Animal Models of Anxiety and Depression
- S. Dulawa, K. Holick, Brigitta B. Gundersen, R. Hen
- Psychology, Medicine
- Neuropsychopharmacology
- 1 July 2004
The onset of the therapeutic response to antidepressant treatment exhibits a characteristic delay. Animal models sensitive to chronic, but not acute, antidepressant treatment are greatly needed for… Expand
Reversal of Neuropathology and Motor Dysfunction in a Conditional Model of Huntington's Disease
- A. Yamamoto, J. Lucas, R. Hen
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 31 March 2000
Neurodegenerative disorders like Huntington's disease (HD) are characterized by progressive and putative irreversible clinical and neuropathological symptoms, including neuronal protein aggregates.… Expand
Serotonin receptor 1A knockout: an animal model of anxiety-related disorder.
- S. Ramboz, R. Oosting, +6 authors R. Hen
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 24 November 1998
To investigate the contribution of individual serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) receptors to mood control, we have used homologous recombination to generate mice lacking specific serotonergic… Expand
