Understanding why adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) is impaired in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is essential for unravelling its role in pathogenesis. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Zheng et al. (2020) report that human tau accumulation in dentate gyrus GABAergic interneurons disrupts AHN and strengthening GABAergic signaling restores AHN and improves cognition in an AD mouse model.
