Periodic Reporting for period 4 - STEMBAR (Mechanisms and functional significance of diffusion barriers for asymmetric segregation of age in neural stem cells)

Neural stem cells (NSCs) generate new neurons throughout life in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). Newborn neurons have been implicated in hippocampus-dependent functions such as learning and memory and mood control. Moreover, failing or altered neurogenesis has been...
