Neural Stem Cells, Niches and Fate Decision Registered attendees for this meeting can view Abstracts for this session starting on 12/09/2010 NOTE: Self-renewal and neuronal fate determination are the earliest steps of adult neurogenesis. Neurogenic niches provide instructional signals that control proliferation and differentiation of the stem cell pool to ensure that neurogenesis continues throughout life. Current knowledge regarding the mechanisms that control the undifferentiated state and fate determination of adult neural stem cells in the hippocampus and olfactory bulb will be discussed. |

Functional Integration Registered attendees for this meeting can view Abstracts for this session starting on 12/09/2010 NOTE: Newborn neuron in the adult hippocampus and olfactory bulb differentiate and integrate within the existing neuronal circuitry. This topic will address how the impact of adult-born neurons in the hippocampal and olfactory bulb network is dictated by the extent that newborn neurons participate as part of the network and how their intrinsic properties compare to those of existing neurons generated during development. |

Functional Significance Hippocampus Registered attendees for this meeting can view Abstracts for this session starting on 12/09/2010 NOTE: The discovery of adult neurogenesis has fundamentally changed our idea of how our brain can adapt to physiological and environmental stimuli. This topic describes our current understanding of neurogenesis, along with other forms of brain plasticity, which may help us fully understand learning and memory function in the hippocampus. |

Neurological Disorders and Repair Registered attendees for this meeting can view Abstracts for this session starting on 12/09/2010 NOTE: Recent studies have shown that a wide variety of stimuli, including seizures, stress, stroke, and chronic antidepressant treatment, can profoundly affect adult neurogenesis. Moreover, neurodegenerative disease states are often associated with diminished neurogenesis. This topic will address whether failure of a normal reparative process, i.e., adult neurogenesis, contributes to the development of disease, and/or whether enhancing neurogenesis could be used as a therapeutic strategy in some of these disorders. |
