Summary

Investigation of the effect of antidepressants on hippocampal neurogenesis in the adult rat using the thymidine analog bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) as a marker for dividing cells demonstrates that chronic antidepressant treatment significantly increases the number of BrdU-labeled cells in the dentate gyrus and hilus of the hippocampus.
