Summary:
Adult neurogenesis in the hippocampus generates neurons whose function is similar to that of neurons born during development, indicating at least some neurons that develop in adult brains can form connections identical to those formed by neurons that develop early in life. The finding may eventually enable physicians to repair damaged or deteriorated brain tissue.
Commentary: This finding could have implications for treating neurological diseases, injuries and disorders in humans.
