Rice bran extract (RBS) possesses a wide range of biological properties; however, its potential antidepressant effects and molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the antidepressant effects of RBS in a mouse model of chronic stress (CS)-induced depression and anxiety and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. Mice exposed to CS were administered RBS at different doses (250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg/body weight) for 5 weeks. The results demonstrated that RBS significantly improved depressive and anxiety symptoms, as evidenced by increased sucrose preference and r
