The adult brain is a plastic place. To ensure that the mature nervous system's control of
behaviour is flexible in the face of a varying environment, morphological and physiological …

The discovery that the adult mammalian brain creates new neurons from pools of stemlike
cells was a breakthrough in neuroscience. Interestingly, this particular new form of structural …

Chronic pain patients exhibit increased anxiety, depression, and deficits in learning and
memory. Yet how persistent pain affects the key brain area regulating these behaviors, the …

There is evidence that BDNF influences the birth of granule cells in the dentate gyrus, which
is one of the few areas of the brain that demonstrates neurogenesis throughout life …

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established therapeutic modality for the treatment of
movement disorders and an emerging therapeutic approach for the treatment of disorders of …

Environmental enrichment (EE) and voluntary exercise (VEx) have consistently been shown
to increase adult hippocampal neurogenesis and improve spatial learning ability. Although it …

GABA, a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the adult brain, activates synaptic and
extrasynaptic GABA A receptors, causing hyperpolarization of mature neurons. As in the …

Recent work in neuroscience has shown that the adult central nervous system contains
neural progenitors, precursors, and stem cells that are capable of generating new neurons …

Hypotheses are scaffoldings erected in front of a building and then dismantled when the
building is finished. They are indispensable for the workman; but you mustn't mistake the …

Abnormal subgranular zone (SGZ) neurogenesis is proposed to contribute to Alzheimer's
disease (AD)‐related decreases in hippocampal function. Our goal was to examine …
