Tips: 1. For the classification endpoints, the prediction probability values are transformed into six symbols: 0-0.1 (- - -), 0.1-0.3 (- -), 0.3-0.5 (-), 0.5-0.7 (+), 0.7-0.9 (++), and 0.9-1.0 (+++). 2. Additionally, the corresponding relationships of the three labels are as follows: excellent; medium; poor.

                    In-vivo Model Animals received yohimbine (2 mg/kg) 30 min prior to administration of imipramine(20 mg/kg) (Y + I group) or received vehicle treatment (Ctl group), once a day for seven consecutive days in adult male Wistar rats (250-400 g, 2-3 months of age) and adult male nestin-GFP transgenic mice (25-35 g, 2-3 months of age).
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
Yohimbine and Imipramine combination treatment enhanced the quiescent neural progenitor pool in the hippocampal neurogenic niche similar to ECS, and distinct from chronic imipramine treatment.
