Overview

After 40 years of research, scientists have confirmed that persistent neurogenesis occurs in the adult mammalian brain. The obvious next question is: ""Are the newly generated neurons functional?"" If so, ""What are the functions of these new neurons?"" This volume intends to clarify both questions by providing the latest data available.
