The Role of Dietary Polyphenols on Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis: Molecular Mechanisms and Behavioural Effects on Depression and Anxiety

<table><i>Effects of curcumin on depression.</i> Administration of curcumin in rodent models of depression has been shown to ameliorate depressive-related behaviours, with decreased despair immobility, associated to increased levels of the neurotransmitters serotonin (5-HT), noradrenaline (NA), and dopamine (DA), and decreased activity of the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MOA).</table>
