Women are at twice the risk for anxiety and depression disorders as men are, although the
underlying biological factors and mechanisms are largely unknown. In this review, we …

The dentate gyrus (DG) has a key role in hippocampal memory formation. Intriguingly, DG
lesions impair many, but not all, hippocampus-dependent mnemonic functions, indicating …

The amygdala is a brain region primarily associated with emotional response. The use of
genetic markers and single-cell transcriptomics can provide insights into behavior …

Adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus is highly regulated by a number
of environmental and cell-intrinsic factors to adapt to environmental changes. Accumulating …

Adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus is highly regulated by
environmental influences, and functionally implicated in behavioural responses to stress …

Astrocytes respond to neuronal activity and were shown to be necessary for plasticity and
memory. To test whether astrocytic activity is also sufficient to generate synaptic potentiation …

Adult hippocampal neurogenesis has been implicated in cognitive processes, such as
pattern separation, and in the behavioural effects of stress and antidepressants. Young adult …

Stroke induces a plastic state in the brain. This period of enhanced plasticity leads to the
sprouting of new axons, the formation of new synapses and the remapping of sensory-motor …

Modern optogenetics can be tuned to evoke activity that corresponds to naturally occurring
local or global activity in timing, magnitude or individual-cell patterning. This outcome has …

The hippocampus is traditionally thought to transmit contextual information to limbic
structures where it acquires valence. Using freely moving calcium imaging and …
