1. Synaptic Pruning by Microglia Is Necessary for Normal Brain DevelopmentScience · 2011 · 4,430 citations

   Microglia are highly motile phagocytic cells that infiltrate and take up residence in the developing brain, where they are thought to provide a surveillance and scavenging function. However, although microglia have been shown to engulf and clear damaged cellular debris…

2. Requirement of Hippocampal Neurogenesis for the Behavioral Effects of AntidepressantsScience · 2003 · 4,347 citations

   Various chronic antidepressant treatments increase adult hippocampal neurogenesis, but the functional importance of this phenomenon remains unclear. Here, using genetic and radiological methods, we show that disrupting antidepressant-induced neurogenesis blocks behavioral responses to antidepressants. Serotonin 1A receptor null mice were…
