It has been proposed that a decrease in adult hippocampal neurogenesis provides a biological and cellular basis for major depression. The olfactory bulbectomy (OB) in rats is widely accepted as an animal model of depression. In the present study, we investigated the effect of OB on memory formation in the memory tasks related to the hippocampal function and adult hippocampal neurogenesis. OB induced a behavioural...
