Quantitative proteomic analysis of cortex in the depressive-like behavior of rats induced by the simulated complex space environment

Quantitative proteomic analysis can quantify differentially abundant proteins related to a variety of potential signaling pathways in the rat cortex in the simulated complex space environment. These findings not only provide valuable information to better understand the mechanisms of depressive-like behavior, but also might offer the potential targets and develop countermeasures for the mental disorders to maintain the health of astronauts during the long-term spaceflight.
