Selective survival and maturation of adult-born dentate granule cells expressing the immediate early gene Arc/Arg3.1.
Progenitor cells in the adult dentate gyrus provide a constant supply of neuronal precursors, yet only a small fraction of these cells survive and develop into mature dentate granule cells (DGCs). A major challenge of current research is thus to understand the stringent selection process that govern...
