Numerous reports have correlated lysine deficiency with cognitive decline; however, the effect of lysine deficiency on hippocampal neurogenesis has not yet been addressed in the literature. This study hypothesizes the impairment of hippocampal neurogenesis and thus hippocampal-related functions due to mild and severe induced dietary lysine deficiency. Here, we aim to observe the effect of mild and severe lysine deficiency on rodents' cognitive functions, memory, and adult hippocampal neurogenesis. In this project, male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three randomized groups (8 rats
