Functional Role of Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis as a Therapeutic Strategy for Mental Disorders
Adult neurogenesis, the process of generating new neurons from neural stem cells, plays significant roles in synaptic plasticity, memory, and mood regulation. In the mammalian brain, it continues to occur well into adulthood in discrete regions, namely, the hippocampus and olfactory bulb. During the...
