Each treatment comprised one or two distinct stressors that was either in the form of repeated injection, which has been previously shown to differentially alter stress responses in BALB/C mice 20 and affective outcomes in outbred rats with high and low emotional reactivity 21 , or permanent social isolation, which has consistently been associated with depressivelike phenotypes 8, 9, 11 . Based on our data, we believe that the neurogenic profiles observed are a functional consequence of the neuroinflammatory changes associated with each stress exposure, given that microglia and astrocytes play an important role b Representative photomicrographs of the ventral (i) and dorsal (ii) dentate gyrus stained for Iba1 for repeatedly injected and socially isolated mice, respectively, all relative to controls. ./cache/cord-342047-pm3i54mb.txt ./txt/cord-342047-pm3i54mb.txt
