Détails sur le projet

Description

will test the hypothesis that stimulating new nerve-cell growth, or neurogenesis, in the hippocampal region of the brain produces antidepressant effects in both rodent models of depression and in human subjects. Preliminary results based on novel imaging methods indicate that cerebral blood volume (CBV) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) may provide biomarkers for hippocampal neurogenesis in both mice and men. The project represents a significant paradigm shift in that it aims at translating basic findings regarding adult hippocampal neurogenesis from rodents to humans.
