The long-term goal of the research in the Nishiyama lab is to understand how axonal innervations to postsynaptic targets are: (1) refined during brain development, and (2) reorganized in adulthood with learning and memory, and (3) with brain injury. To…
Adult hippocampal neurogenesis is conserved across many, if not all, mammalian species. And adult-born neurons appear to have important functional effects. Changes in the rate of adult neurogenesis correlate with clinically important variables. For instance, psychosocial stress potently suppresses hippocampal neurogenesis,…
