Article Synopsis
- * Recent advancements have led to the discovery of additional neurogenic niches, challenging previous beliefs and sparking debates in the scientific community about their functions and relevance in humans.
- * This review examines existing literature on neurogenic zones, explores molecular mechanisms involved in neurogenesis, and summarizes current knowledge on adult neurogenesis in humans, highlighting similarities and differences across studies.
One of the most important things in the field of adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) is the identification of the newly generated cells. The immunodetection of thymidine analogs (such as 5-Bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU)) is a standard technique used for visualizing these newly generated cells. Therefore, BrdU is usually injected in small animals intraperitoneally, so the thymidine analog gets incorporated into dividing cells during DNA synthesis.

Adult neurogenesis mechanism is also linked to memory and learning improvement. Traditionally, researchers used to assess learning and memory parameters in rodent models by behavioral tasks.
