The rodent hippocampus generates new neurons throughout life. This process, named adult
hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN), is a striking form of neural plasticity that occurs in the …

Aging is a natural process that is associated with cognitive decline as well as functional and
social impairments. One structure of particular interest when considering aging and …

The hippocampal-entorhinal system supports cognitive functions, has lifelong neurogenic
capabilities in many species, and is selectively vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease. To …

Adult-born hippocampal neurons are important for cognitive plasticity in rodents. There is
evidence for hippocampal neurogenesis in adult humans, although whether its extent is …

Conflicting reports about whether adult hippocampal neurogenesis occurs in humans raise
questions about its significance for human health and the relevance of animal models …

Aims Neurogenesis in the postnatal human brain occurs in two neurogenic niches; the
subventricular zone (SVZ) in the wall of the lateral ventricles and the subgranular zone …

Adult neurogenesis appears very well conserved among mammals. It was, however, not
until recently that quantitative data on the extent of this process became available in …

The hippocampal formation is essential for the processing of episodic memories for
autobiographical events that happen in unique spatiotemporal contexts. Interestingly, before …

In the late 19th Century, Sigmund Freud described the phenomenon in which people are
unable to recall events from early childhood as infantile amnesia. Although universally …

The hippocampus is essential for the formation and retrieval of memories and is a crucial
neural structure sub-serving complex cognition. Adult hippocampal neurogenesis, the birth …
