Adult neurogenesis: bridging the gap between mice and humans

Jessberger, Sebastian, Gage, Fred H.·2014·Trends in Cell Biology

Abstract

Neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) generate new neurons in the mammalian brain throughout life. Over the past two decades, substantial progress has been made in deciphering the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying adult neurogenesis and in understanding the role played by new neurons in brain function in animal models of health and disease. By contrast, knowledge regarding the extent and relevance of neurogenesis in the adult human brain remains scant. Here we review new concepts about how new neurons shape adult brain circuits, discuss fundamental, unanswered questions about stem cell-associated neural plasticity, and illustrate how the gap between the animal-based basic research and current efforts to analyze life-long neuronal development of the human brain may be overcome by using novel experimental strategies.

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

  • Cell proliferation and neuronal differentiation continue in adulthood only in restricted areas of the brain.

    “Cell proliferation and neuronal differentiation continue in adulthood only in restricted areas of the brain83.”
  • Adult neurogenesis exists in a large number of species, ranging from rodents to monkeys, strongly suggesting it is common to most mammalian species.

    “Evidence that adult neurogenesis exists for a large number of species, ranging from rodents (Jessberger and Gage, 2014; Snyder et al., 2009a) to monkeys (Gould et al., 1998, 1999), strongly suggests that this phenomenon is common to most mammalian species.”

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.
