Adult hippocampal neurogenesis and cognitive flexibility — linking memory and mood

Nature Reviews Neuroscience 18, 335 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrn.2017.45 Authors: Christoph Anacker & René Hen Adult hippocampal neurogenesis has been implicated in cognitive processes, such as pattern separation, and in the behavioural effects of stress and antidepressants. Young adult-born neurons have been shown to inhibit the overall activity of the dentate gyrus by recruiting local interneurons, which may result in
