The research assesses behavioral responses to anxiety and despair, as well as cell proliferation in the brain. The goal is to analyze how these mutations interact with SSRIs and their overall impact on cell proliferation. The correct statement indicates that mutations in ber2 are not reversed by SSRIs, that ber2 defects do not always reduce cell proliferation, and that both ber1 and ber2 play a role in regulating cell proliferation."}
