BDNF and depressive symptom measurement: We examined the effects of fluoxetine (10 mg/kg), brexpiprazole (0.1 mg/kg), or the combination of the two drugs on depression-like behavior, alterations in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) - TrkB signaling, and dendritic spine density in selected brain regions after administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (0.5 mg/kg).
