Vulnerable periods during the development of the nervous system are sensitive to
environmental insults because they are dependent on the temporal and regional emergence …

Developing networks follow common rules to shift from silent cells to coactive networks that
operate via thousands of synapses. This review deals with some of these rules and in …

The thin lamina between the hippocampal hilus and granule cell layer, or subgranule zone
(SGZ), is an area of active proliferation within the adult hippocampus known to generate new …

In the mature brain, GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) functions primarily as an inhibitory
neurotransmitter. But it can also act as a trophic factor during nervous system development …

To determine the role of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the enhancement of
hippocampal neurogenesis resulting from dietary restriction (DR), heterozygous BDNF …

Cerebral dopamine depletion is the hallmark of Parkinson disease. Because dopamine
modulates ontogenetic neurogenesis, depletion of dopamine might affect neural precursors …

We have previously shown that voluntary exercise produces enhanced neurogenesis and
long-term potentiation (LTP) in the dentate gyrus (DG) of mice in vitro. In the present …

Glutamate's role as a neurotransmitter at synapses has been known for 40 years, but
glutamate has since been shown to regulate neurogenesis, neurite outgrowth …

Multipotent stem cells that generate both neurons and glia are widespread components of
the early neuroepithelium. During CNS development, neurogenesis largely precedes …

Neurogenesis normally only occurs in limited areas of the adult mammalian brain—the
hippocampus, olfactory bulb,, and epithelium, and at low levels in some regions of macaque …
