Abstract

Environmental factors play a key role in refining neuronal circuitry in adulthood. Numerous experiences modulate the number of new neurons in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, suggesting that adult neurogenesis is an important substrate for experience-dependent change. The influences of stress and the environment on adult neurogenesis, the functional consequences of this process, and its therapeutic potential are discussed in this article.
