Indeed, while one study showed that Cry1 or Cry2 single-KO and Cry1/2 double-KO mice showed increased anxiety states, but not depression-like behaviors (De Bundel et al., 2013), another study reported Cry1/2 double-KO displayed increased anhedonia compared to WT mice (Savalli et al., 2015a). Here, CRY1 is linked to depressive symptom measurement.
