Abstract

The sensory processing of odorants is a dynamic process that requires plasticity at multiple levels. In the olfactory bulb (OB), inhibitory interneurons undergo lifelong replacement through a process known as adult neurogenesis. These newly born cells are incorporated in a learning‐dependent fashion, a process which has led some to suggest this as a primary mechanism through which the OB retains a high degree of plasticity throughout life. A continued focus of researchers in this field has been to understand the molecular mechanisms controlling adult subventricular zone (SVZ) neurogenesis and the innate functional role of these cells. Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been identified as a strong candidate molecule regulating adult OB neurogenesis. We review what is known regarding the functional role of newly born cells, highlight the role of BDNF in this process, and describe preliminary findings from our lab implicating BDNF in the process of selecting of newly born cells for survival. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals,Inc.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In mice, BDNF expression is low during prenatal development, increases during the first few weeks after birth, and peaks during the shift from embryonic to adult neurogenesis.

    “Early research on this molecule found that during development in mice, BDNF expression is low during prenatal development, but then increases during the first few weeks after being born and peaks during the shift from embryonic to adult neurogenesis (Bath et al., 2012).”

    From Exercise-Mediated Neurogenesis in the Hippocampus via BDNF (2018) · cites this paper as Bath et al., 2012

    In “Does the Role of Newly Born Neurons Change as Animals Age?” (page unavailable), the review says BDNF’s developmental onset and peak expression correlate with the transition from embryonic to adult-like neurogenesis in the olfactory bulb. The passage does not specify that expression is low prenatally or rises during the first few weeks after birth. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
