Objective Endophenotype studies of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) may uncover
heritable traits that are related to genetic susceptibility to OCD. Deficient response inhibition …

It is now well established that the mammalian brain has the capacity to produce new
neurons into adulthood. One such region that provides the proper milieu to sustain …

Though initially described in the early 1960s, it is only within the past decade that the
concept of continuing adult neurogenesis has gained widespread acceptance. Neuroblasts …

Women worldwide are two to three times more likely to suffer from depression in their
lifetime than are men. Female risk for depressive symptoms is particularly high during 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 …

Exercise is a simple intervention that profoundly benefits cognition. In rodents, running
increases neurogenesis in the hippocampus, a brain area important for memory. We …

Neurogenesis persists in two germinal regions in the adult mammalian brain, the
subventricular zone of the lateral ventricles and the subgranular zone in the hippocampal …

Adolescence is a developmental period that coincides with the maturation of adult cognitive
faculties. Binge drinking is common during adolescence and can impact brain maturation …

The presence of neural stem cells (NSCs) and the production of new neurons in the adult
brain have received great attention from scientists and the public because of implications to …

In contrast to the situation in the developing brain, neurons born during adulthood must
integrate into established neuronal networks characterized by ongoing activity. For sensory …
