Journal ArticleDOI
Running increases cell proliferation and neurogenesis in the adult mouse dentate gyrus.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that voluntary exercise is sufficient for enhanced neurogenesis in the adult mouse dentate gyrus, in amounts similar to enrichment conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
More hippocampal neurons in adult mice living in an enriched environment
TL;DR: It is shown that significantly more new neurons exist in the dentate gyrus of mice exposed to an enriched environment compared with littermates housed in standard cages, and that the enriched mice have a larger hippocampal granule cell layer and 15 per cent moregranule cell neurons in the Dentate Gyrus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural consequences of environmental enrichment.
TL;DR: This article focuses on the neuronal changes that occur in response to complex stimulation by an enriched environment and emphasizes the behavioural and neurobiological consequences of specific elements of enrichment, especially exercise and learning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Milestones of neuronal development in the adult hippocampus

TL;DR: A model of the development that takes place between these two fixed points of hippocampal neurogenesis is proposed and several developmental milestones are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epidermal growth factor and fibroblast growth factor-2 have different effects on neural progenitors in the adult rat brain

TL;DR: Findings from this study may be useful for elucidating the in vivo role of growth factors in neurogenesis in the adult CNS and may aid development of neuronal replacement strategies after brain damage.
