Environmental change, the stress response, and neurogenesis
LD LaDage - Integrative and comparative biology, 2015 - academic.oup.com
Previous to the 1980's, the prevailing neuroscience dogma held that no new neurons were
produced in the brains of adult mammals. Now, we understand that the production of new …
