Abstract
While there has been a great deal of interest in the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in mood disorders and/or the mode of action of antidepressants, less is known about the role of other growth factors. This paper is focused on a group of growth factors, the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family and their potential role in mood disorders.
