Newborn Neurons in the Aged Hippocampus—Scarce and Slow but Highly Plastic

Publication date: 31 October 2017
Source:Cell Reports, Volume 21, Issue 5
Author(s): Ruth Beckervordersandforth
In this issue of Cell Reports, Trinchero et al. (2017) demonstrate that newborn neurons in the aged hippocampus are delayed in development but are highly susceptible to stimuli improving neuronal activity. This plasticity is mediated cell-intrinsically by neurotrophin signaling.
