Based on rat studies, they hypothesize that "dendrite arborization" -- an increased branching growth of nerve cells -- caused by chronic antidepressant exposure, may be the cause.

This process is called, appropriately, arborization.

The structure of the neuron naturally lends itself to comparison with the branches, trunk, and roots of a tree, and indeed the technical term for the growth of dendrites is "arborization."

Will their arborization be, say, 10-fold higher than human?

Also, I am still trying to get you to commit to say something with regard to P-cells in lungfish, salamanders etc, which should really stand out with respect to P-cell arborization given their massive genomes.
