Answer:

increase in the number of neurons in the hippocampus

Explanation:

Studies shows that loss of number neurons in the hippocampus contribute to the pathophysiology of depression. Therefore, studies have been carried out to determine the effect of antidepressants on hippocampal neurons. Studies shows that antidepressants increase cell proliferation and also increase hippocampal neuron number i.e increased in the number of neurons in the hippocampus, by the process called neurogenesis.
