Throughout the twentieth century, it was accepted as fact that cells in our brains, called neurons, do not regenerate.Research by neurologist Elizabeth Gould overturned this core doctrine within the span of a few years.Her experiments on rats showed that even after suffering severe trauma, their brains were able to heal themselves by regenerating neurons.Gould’s findings have incited a flood of new research into applications that may take advantage of neurogenesis.

One such study examines the role of reduced neurogenesis among individuals suffering from depression.It is speculated that neurogenesis may contribute to an explanation for the so called “Prozac lag.” As an antidepressant, the immediate boost of serotonin caused by Prozac should have had instantaneous mood elevating effects.However, patients suffering from depression only begin to experience mood elevation weeks after beginning treatment.The study speculates that during this period, the brain may be regenerating neurons.
