The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Measuring emotional processes in animals: the utility of a cognitive approach. (2005, neutral): “swim, conflict situations, and inescapable aversive stimuli [69,70,139-141].”
Hippocampal neurogenesis: regulation by stress and antidepressants. (2006, result): “Early studies of learned helplessness demonstrated changes in the HPA axis consistent with ones seen in some MDD patients and response to acute treatment with antidepressants (reviewed in Cryan and Mombereau 2004).”
Forced swimming test in mice: a review of antidepressant activity (2004, methodology): “2000; Holmes 2003b) or a psychological concept of “entrapment” described in clinical situations (Cryan and Mombereau 2004).”
Targeting the Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis: Prebiotics Have Anxiolytic and Antidepressant-like Effects and Reverse the Impact of Chronic Stress in Mice. (2017, positive): “Animals administered prebiotics showed reduced depression-like behavior measured in tail suspension and forced swim tests; these tests are widely used assays of antidepressant efficacy (42).”
The role of neurotrophic factors in adult hippocampal neurogenesis, antidepressant treatments and animal models of depressive-like behavior (2007, background): “models, CMS/CUS paradigms are low-throughput, time consuming, require dedicated facilities and have poor reproducibility (Rupniak, 2003; Cryan and Mombereau, 2004).”
