Abstract
⺠BALB/cOLaHsd mice do not respond to chronic desipramine treatment in the NIH. ⺠Addition of lithium to desipramine induced antidepressant-like behaviour in the NIH. ⺠Lithium plus desipramine but neither drug alone increased hippocampal cell proliferation. ⺠Hippocampal neurogenesis may contribute to lithium augmentation of antidepressants.
