The mouse brain is the most extensively studied brain of all species. We performed an
exhaustive review of the literature to establish our current state of knowledge on cell …

A large population of neural stem/precursor cells (NSCs) persists in the ventricular–
subventricular zone (V-SVZ) located in the walls of the lateral brain ventricles. V-SVZ NSCs …

Olfactory sensory neurons extend their axons solely to the olfactory bulb, which is dedicated
to odor information processing. The olfactory bulb is divided into multiple layers, with …

The biological olfactory system is the sensory system responsible for the detection of the
chemical composition of the environment. Several attempts to mimic biological olfactory …

Summary Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) is a light-gated, cation-selective ion channel isolated
from the green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Here, we report the generation of …

Understanding the fate of adult-generated neurons and the mechanisms that influence them
requires consistent labeling and tracking of large numbers of stem cells. We generated a …

Generation of neuronal diversity is a biological strategy widely used in the brain to process
complex information. The olfactory bulb is the first relay station of olfactory information in the …

In adult rodents, subventricular zone (SVZ) astrocytes (B cells) function as primary
progenitors in the generation of new neurons that migrate to the olfactory bulb (OB), where …

Circuits in the brain possess the ability to orchestrate activities on different timescales, but
the manner in which distinct circuits interact to sculpt diverse rhythms remains unresolved …

Circadian rhythms are daily rhythms that regulate many biological processes–from gene
transcription to behavior–and a disruption of these rhythms can lead to a myriad of health …
