    • Adult neurogenesis modifies excitability of the dentate gyrus 

      Ikrar, Taruna; Guo, Nannan; He, Kaiwen; Besnard, Antoine; Levinson, Sally; Hill, Alexis; Lee, Hey-Kyoung; Hen, Rene; Xu, Xiangmin; Sahay, Amar (Frontiers Media S.A., 2013)
      Adult-born dentate granule neurons contribute to memory encoding functions of the dentate gyrus (DG) such as pattern separation. However, local circuit-mechanisms by which adult-born neurons partake in this process are ...

    • Immature spinal cord neurons are dynamic regulators of adult nociceptive sensitivity 

      Rusanescu, Gabriel; Mao, Jianren (John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2015)
      Chronic pain is a debilitating condition with unknown mechanism. Nociceptive sensitivity may be regulated by genetic factors, some of which have been separately linked to neuronal progenitor cells and neuronal differentiation. ...

    • Neural stem cells respond to stress hormones: distinguishing beneficial from detrimental stress 

      Koutmani, Yassemi; Karalis, Katia P. (Frontiers Media S.A., 2015)
      Neural stem cells (NSCs), the progenitors of the nervous system, control distinct, position-specific functions and are critically involved in the maintenance of homeostasis in the brain. The responses of these cells to ...
