Study identifies how adult brain circuits regulate new neuron production.

During neurodevelopment, the brain fabricates an incredible number of neurons which then migrate to specific parts of the brain. The development of new neurons is active all the way through infancy and childhood, continuing in a few select areas of the brain in adulthood to affect learning and memory, as well as mood regulation. However, just how this neurogenesis is switched on and off is … Continue reading Study identifies how adult brain circuits regulate new neuron production.
