Question 27 / 27: 

Bipolar disorder is often treated with drugs such as Prozac, Celexa, Zoloft, and imipramine.

While they apparently target synapses, an unusual feature of them is that they don’t have much effect for the first 2-3 weeks. (4 pts)

What new hypothesis for their action would explain the delay in efficacy?
Answer: 

It is thought that they may stimulate neurogenesis through stem cell differentiation
