​​​​Adult Neurogenesis

Adult neurogenesis occurs in the brains of various adult animals and describes the generation of functional neurons and the integration of new information-processing units in the adult brain. Join us to learn more about how adult neurogenesis is linked to behavior, lipid metabolism, and the development of neurological disorders.​
