This study shows that chronic electroconvulsive shock in mice impairs hippocampal synaptic function and associative memory, but not object or location memory.

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.

This study shows that adult neurogenesis enhances efficient, nonspecific search strategies in a spatial alternation water maze task, particularly when platform locations alternate.
