    Mechanisms Contributing to the Phase-Dependent Regulation of Neurogenesis by the Novel Antidepressant, Agomelatine, in the Adult Rat Hippocampus

    Agomelatine is a novel antidepressant acting as a melatonergic receptor agonist and serotonergic (5-HT2C) receptor antagonist. In adult rats, chronic agomelatine treatment enhanced cell proliferation and neurogen...

    Serotonin-Induced Increases in Adult Cell Proliferation and Neurogenesis are Mediated Through Different and Common 5-HT Receptor Subtypes in the Dentate Gyrus and the Subventricular Zone

    Increase in serotonin (5-HT) transmission has profound antidepressant effects and has been associated with an increase in adult neurogenesis. The present study was aimed at screening the 5-HT receptor subtypes...
