> Well, there have been studies in which mice responded to fluoxetine independant of neurogenesis. Also, some mice strains actually do not show neurogenesis in response to fluoxetine.
I would not be surprised to hear this. I think that neurogenesis occurs latent to the antidepressant response. Also, in order for there to be measurable neurogenesis, there might have to be atrophy in the first place. I believe that hippocampal atrophy is latent to the onset of depression, rather than being its cause.
Just a bunch of guesses.
