This article is part of a Special Issue “Estradiol and Cognition”. There are sex differences in
hippocampus-dependent cognition and neurogenesis suggesting that sex hormones are …

The formation of new neurons in the adult central nervous system (CNS) has been
recognized as one of the major findings in neuroanatomical research. The hippocampal …

The hippocampus is an area of the brain that undergoes dramatic plasticity in response to
experience and hormone exposure. The hippocampus retains the ability to produce new …

Adult neurogenesis, defined here as progenitor cell division generating functionally
integrated neurons in the adult brain, occurs within the hippocampus of numerous …

Kabuki syndrome is caused by haploinsufficiency for either of two genes that promote the
opening of chromatin. If an imbalance between open and closed chromatin is central to the …

Sex differences exist in the regulation of adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus in
response to hormones and cognitive training. Here, we investigated the trajectory and …

The ongoing development of the hippocampus in adolescence may be vulnerable to
stressors. The effects of social instability stress (SS) in adolescence (daily 1 h isolation and …

Adult hippocampal neurogenesis is often associated with hippocampus-dependent learning
and memory. Throughout a new neuron's development, it is differentially sensitive to factors …

Although the function of adult neurogenesis is still unclear, tools for directly studying the
behavioral role of new hippocampal neurons now exist in rodents. Since similar studies are …

The structure of the mammalian hippocampus continues to be modified throughout life by
continuous addition of neurons in the dentate gyrus. Although the existence of adult …
