In today’s Nature, Fred Gage, from The Salk Institute, La Jolla, California, and colleagues report that Wnt signaling plays an important role in adult hippocampal neurogenesis. Ever since it turned ...

Neurogenesis is more than just a concept in neuroscience, and has nuances that go beyond mere rattling statistics. It is the Catch-22 of the world of learning and development in humans and possibly ...

STOCKHOLM — A longstanding question in neuroscience has been whether the adult human brain continues to generate new neurons. Decades of conflicting studies left the issue unresolved, but a new study ...

Mitochondrial fusion grants new neurons a competitive advantage Adult neurogenesis takes place in the hippocampus, a brain region controlling aspects of cognition and emotional behavior. Consistently, ...

“We provide thorough information on the extent of neurogenesis and we show that there is surprisingly large amount,” said study author Jonas Frisén of the Karolinksa Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.
