The breakthrough occurred about 10 years ago when these samples were treated with lithium and Depakote, and the gene array pointed to certain proteins involving neuroplasticity the neuron's signaling pathways. At about the same time, Fred Gage discovered neurons grow in the hippocampus and Ron John McManamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857174305041382349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1098361547792425611.post-44019544835024918282011-06-18T14:55:37.179-07:002011-06-18T14:55:37.179-07:00Wow oh wow.

That was pre SSRIs, this hopefully will take us post SSRIs. How do they know this stuff tho---is it theory, or do they have empiracal data, experiments, MRIs, repeatable stuff to back it up?
