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

The role of neurotrophic factors in adult hippocampal neurogenesis, antidepressant treatments and animal models of depressive-like behavior (2007, methodology): “…between different behavioral responses such as climbing, swimming and immobility in rats, has the potential to differentiate between the characteristic behavioral effects of norepinephrine selective reuptake inhibitors and SSRIs such as swimming and climbing, respectively (Cryan et al., 2002).”
Cell Proliferation in Adult Hippocampus is Decreased by Inescapable Stress: Reversal by Fluoxetine Treatment (2003, background): “It is well known that rodents recover from the behavioral despair by 2–3 weeks after exposure to IS (see Cryan et al, 2002).”
Hippocampal neurogenesis: Opposing effects of stress and antidepressant treatment (2006, background): “More traditional behavioral tests such as learned helplessness or the forced swim test are responsive to acute or subchronic administration of antidepressants (Cryan et al., 2002), and are not as suitable for studies of neurogenesis.”
Model organisms: The ascent of mouse: advances in modelling human depression and anxiety (2005, neutral): “Manipulating mice So far, about 80 different mutant lines have been reported to have phenotypes interpreted as abnormal 'depression-related' or 'anxiety-related' behaviou”
