NEUROPLASTICITY: Neurogenesis in the Adult Olfactory System

For many decades, it was thought that our brains are static and have limited capacity for change. Research over the last 40 years has shown that brains can change! This is the concept of neuroplasticity. This lecture is an add-on to my neuroplasticity course. I discuss two research articles that show the importance of neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) in the adult mouse olfactory system in regulating smell-guided behaviors. Here are the citations: Mak, G.K., Enwere, E.K., Gregg, C., Pakarainen, T., Poutanen, M., Huhtaniemi, I., and Weiss, S. (2007).
