...Depression is a very heterogeneous disorder and it has many different causes,” he said. “This may be one part of the puzzle for one particular kind of depression.” Ardayfio and his advisor, Associate Professor of Psychiatry Kwang-Soo Kim, tested three groups of mice on a standard anxiety-level test. The mice were placed in a darkened chamber, allowed to acclimatize themselves, and were then allowed to explore another brightly lit chamber. Ardayfio and Kim found that, while normal mice readily explored the new area, mice which had received long-term...
