Functional Neurogenesis is devoted to understanding the function of adult-born neurons in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, and includes discussion of scientific research papers, methods and protocols, and other trends or observations of the field. However, since we cannot truly understand the function of adult hippocampal neurogenesis without also studying memory systems, other forms of plasticity, development etc., we invariably comment on findings in areas outside of the adult neurogenesis literature, that are interesting or are relevant.

Adult neurogenesis in humans: Murine Features of Neurogenesis in the Human Hippocampus
by Jason Snyder in Functional Neurogenesis
Studies of adult neurogenesis often begin with the following sentence: “Adult neurogenesis occurs in all mammals examined, including humans.” More detail-oriented papers might say, “Adult neurogenesis occurs in all mammals examined, including humans…but not bats.” Here, the similarities between bats and humans become more evident than one might expect: it could be an equally long [...]...
