- Title
Stem cells: Experiences direct fate.
- Authors
Yates, Darran
- Abstract
The article discusses research being done on the impact of animal's experiences in the populations and ratio of stem cells to neurons. It references the study "Experience dictates stem cell fate in the adult hippocampus" by A. Dranovsky and colleagues in the 2011 issue. Results show that hippocampal neural stem cells (NSCs) can accumulate with time and respond to various environmental conditions by increasing or proliferating neurogenesis.
