Summary:
"The generation of new neurons is a complex process that represents an extreme example of neuroplasticity. It may play a part in memory and brain repair and is implicated in various neurological conditions. This book discusses current approaches used to investigate neurogenesis, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved, and the roles of neurogenesis in diseases such as epilepsy and various psychiatric disorders"-- Provided by publisher.
