Neural Stem Cells
Neural stem cells have the incredible capacity to divide and generate new neurons and glia to replace old and damaged tissue (regeneration) and to modify the properties of existing tissue (plasticity).
Hippocampus
The hippocampus is the hub of learning and memory function in the brain. The dentate gyrus region of the hippocampus uniquely undergoes protracted development and retains a pool of neural stem cells throughout the lifespan.
