Amount Quote by Paul Greengard
“Mice deficient in this protein, called p11, display depression-like behaviors, while those with sufficient amounts behave as if they have been treated with antidepressants.”
About This Quote
Source Journal Article: Neuropsychopharmacology, 2005
Low p11 protein in mice leads to depression-like behavior; sufficient p11 mimics antidepressant effects.
In simple terms: p11 deficiency causes depressive traits; enough p11 acts like medication.
Key Takeaway
Target p11 pathways for depression treatment.
