Increased EphA4-ephexin1 signaling in the medial prefrontal cortex plays a role in depression-like phenotype

Abstract Accumulating evidence suggests a role of the ephrin receptor EphA4 and the downstream protein ephexin1 in synaptic plasticity, which is implicated in depression. We examined whether EphA4–ephexin1 signaling plays a role in the pathophysiology of depression, and the antidepressant-like effec...
