New neurons are added throughout the forebrain of adult birds. The song-control system is a
model to investigate the addition of new long-projection neurons to a cortical circuit that …

Adult neurogenesis is one of the most important mechanisms contributing to brain
development, learning, and memory. Alterations in neurogenesis underlie a wide spectrum …

Despite prolonged interest in comparing brain size and behavioral proxies of" intelligence"
across taxa, the adaptive and cognitive significance of brain size variation remains elusive …

Behavioural flexibility is often treated as the gold standard of evidence for more
sophisticated or complex forms of animal cognition, such as planning, metacognition and …

The storage and persistence of memories depends on plasticity in the hippocampus. Adult
neurogenesis produces new neurons that mature through critical periods for plasticity and …

The aging process impacts neural stem cells and causes a significant decline in
neurogenesis that contributes to neuronal dysfunction leading to cognitive decline …

Sex steroidal hormones coordinate the development and maintenance of tissue architecture
in many organs, including the central nervous systems (CNS). Within the CNS, sex steroids …

In this study, we hypothesized that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) deficiency during
pregnancy and lactation will make a lasting impact on brain neurogenesis and apoptosis of …

Neurodegeneration is a common starting point of reactive gliosis, which may have beneficial
and detrimental consequences. It remains incompletely understood how distinctive …

Alcohol is the most commonly used drug among adolescents. Their decreased sensitivity to
self-regulating cues to stop drinking coincides with an enhanced vulnerability to negative …
