This pathway, developed together with Gerd Kempermann from the Center for Regenerative Therapies in Dresden, shows the different processes contributing to adult neurogenesis in the olfactory bulb and
Show moreAdult neurogenesis is a process of generating new neurons in the adult brain from resident stem cell populations. It is a common process in many species, including fish and birds. However, in the mammalian brain, it occurs at a small scale in only two specific regions: the olfactory bulb and the hippocampus.
The process of adult neurogenesis is believed to be connected to higher cognitive functions, including learning and memory, and therefore is an important therapeutic target within an aging society. That’s why we created this poster highlighting how new neurons are produced in the olfactory bulb and hippocampus of the mammalian brain.
