A mouse model of early sporadic tau pathology induces neurogenic plasticity in the hippocampus

Alyssa M. Ash, Sue Rim Baek, Peyton Holder, Sara Singh, Nicholas P. Vyleta, Matthew Willman, Kevin R. Nash, Jason S. Snyder

This study uses a mouse model to show that early tau pathology in the entorhinal cortex induces morphological changes and neurogenic plasticity in the hippocampus without affecting synaptic strength.

Inhibiting adult neurogenesis differentially affects spatial learning in females and males

Timothy P. O’Leary, Baran Askari, Bonnie A. Lee, Kathryn Darby, Cypress Knudson, Alyssa M. Ash, Désirée R. Seib, Delane F. Espinueva, Jason S. Snyder

This study shows that inhibiting adult neurogenesis affects spatial learning differently in male and female rats under stressful conditions, with males showing slower learning and females faster learning in cold water.

Adult-born hippocampal neurons undergo extended development and are morphologically distinct from neonatally-born neurons

John Darby Cole, Delane F. Espinueva, Désirée R. Seib, Alyssa M. Ash, Matthew B. Cooke, Shaina P. Cahill, Timothy P. O’Leary, Sharon S. Kwan, Jason S. Snyder

The paper examines the development and morphology of adult-born neurons in rats, finding they mature over months and have distinct features compared to neonatally-born neurons, contributing to hippocampal plasticity into old age.
