Neurogenesis in the mammalian hippocampus persists throughout adulthood, but the function of newly-born hippocampal cells remains largely unknown. This dissertation investigates the effects of neurogenesis …
Learning to perceptually discriminate chemical signals in our environment (olfactory perceptual learning) is critical for survival. Multiple mechanisms have been implicated in olfactory perceptual learning, …
Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis (AHN) is the process through which newborn neurons are born and integrated into brain circuitry. Patients with conditions like Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) …
Neural stem cells (NSCs) are multipotent cells that have the potential to differentiate into multiple lineages that ultimately populate the brain with a mosaic of …
