Zhu et al. establish a clean causal chain: intermittent hypoxia → enhanced adult hippocampal neurogenesis → BDNF release → antidepressant-like behavior across CMS, FST, and NSF tests. Each link is testable and reversible, making this a rare framework where a single intervention maps onto a single neural circuit.
