Hypotheses are scaffoldings erected in front of a building and then dismantled when the
building is finished. They are indispensable for the workman; but you mustn't mistake the …

It has been widely accepted that the younger the age and/or immaturity of the organism, the
greater the brain plasticity, the young age plasticity privilege. This paper examines the …

Adult neurogenic niches harbor quiescent neural stem cells; however, their in vivo identity
has been elusive. Here, we prospectively isolate GFAP+ CD133+(quiescent neural stem …

Macroautophagy/autophagy is generally regarded as a cytoprotective mechanism, and it
remains a matter of controversy whether autophagy can cause cell death in mammals. Here …

Quiescence is important for sustaining neural stem cells (NSCs) in the adult brain over the
lifespan. Lysosomes are digestive organelles that degrade membrane receptors after they …

Cold temperatures induce formation of beige adipocytes, which convert glucose and fatty
acids to heat, and may increase energy expenditure, reduce adiposity and lower blood …

The vasculature is emerging as a key contributor to brain function during neurodevelopment
and in mature physiological and pathological states. The brain vasculature itself also …

The olfactory bulb (OB) is one of the two major loci in the mammalian brain where newborn
neurons are constantly integrated into the neural circuit during postnatal life. Newborn …

Adult hippocampal neurogenesis is believed to support hippocampus-dependent learning
and emotional regulation. These putative functions of adult neurogenesis have typically …

The olfactory bulb (OB) is the first central processing center for olfactory information
connecting with higher areas in the brain, and this neuronal circuitry mediates a variety of …
