Description
Diego Laplagne, Maria Soledad Esposito, Veronica Piatti and colleagues compared new brain cells made at different life stages. Their paper appeared in PLoS Biology in 2006. Part of the hippocampus makes new neurons throughout life. The team asked if adult-made neurons work like those made early in life.
They labelled neuron parent cells in young and adult animals. The labels used glowing proteins of different colours. They then recorded signals from neighbouring neurons of different ages. Adult-born neurons received much the same inputs as early-born ones. They could also fire signals when stimulated. Their firing behaviour matched closely too. The authors propose that both groups form one functional population. The finding matters for understanding adult brain growth.
