Antidepressant-Like Effect of Cordyceps sinensis in the Mouse Tail
Suspension Test - Biol Pharm Bull. 2007 Sep;30(9):1758-62 -

antidepressant-like effects of hot water extract (HWCS) and supercritical
fluid extract (SCCS) of CS ... these results suggest that SCCS may elicit an
antidepressant-like effect by affecting the adrenergic and dopaminergic
systems, but not by affecting the serotonergic system"
