This study shows that adult neurogenesis in mice enhances spatial information encoding in the hippocampus during novel context exposure.

This study shows that aged mice have impaired spatial representations in the hippocampal dentate gyrus for novel environments, but these improve with repeated exposure, while hyperexcitability does not disrupt familiar environments.

This study identifies Klf9 as a transcriptional regulator that suppresses symmetric self-renewal of radial-glial neural stem cells in the adult hippocampus.

This study shows that including vascular cells with neural precursor cells improves graft survival and vascularization after stroke.
