There is also some speculation that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is involved and is partially why SSRIs have been shown to reverse neuronal death in the hippocampus, something that turned science on its head. It was only after this discovery that medical schools began grudgingly admitting that "maybe neuronal regeneration is possible in some populations, such as those with depression who are treated with antidepressants."
