...Kent D. Dunlap Fish have unusually high rates of brain cell proliferation and neurogenesis during adulthood, and the rates of these processes are greatly influenced by the environment. This high level of cell proliferation and its responsiveness to environmental change indicate that such plasticity...

... evolution Brain structural plasticity Doublecortin Cell proliferation After decades of intensive research, mammalian adult neurogenesis has remained enigmatic. The initial protagonists and early followers are still unsure about the functional meaning of adult neurogenesis in general [Bonfanti...

... and behavior are associated with seasonal variation in postembryonic neurogenesis. Specifically, we used the thymidine analog 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) to determine if the rates of cell proliferation in the adult brain vary between male snakes collected during spring and fall at 1, 5, and 10 days post...

...Lynn M. Almli; Walter Wilczynski Gonadal steroid hormones have been shown to influence adult neurogenesis in addition to their well-defined role in regulating social behavior. Adult neurogenesis consists of several processes including cell proliferation, which can be studied via 5-bromo-2...

... preeminent in males and females. In anuran amphibians, social experience comes in the form of acoustic communication, which is central to their reproductive behavior. We sought to determine whether acoustic cues regulate cell proliferation in the brain of adult green treefrogs (Hyla cinerea) . Our results...

... on labeling with 3 H-thymidine and proliferating cell nuclear antigen showing cell proliferation in the adult ranid brain, particularly in hypothalamic nuclei. The consistent appearance of new cells in the hypothalamus of adult frogs suggests that proliferative activity may be important in mediating...

... epithelial cell proliferation on a seasonal basis. Significantly more cell division occurs in late spring than at any other time of the year, and we investigated the fate and life span of these newly generated cells. We used 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) immunocytochemical cell birth dating to examine cell...

.... Adult neurogenesis Cell proliferation Stem cells Comparative approach Vertebrates The first reports of the production of new neurons in the central nervous system of adult vertebrates, a phenomenon now referred to as ‘adult neurogenesis’, date back to the 1960s. Two pioneers in this emerging...

... other tissues in the head often were heavily labeled. Cell proliferation appears to be up-regulated in the chemosensory epithelia and in the telencephalon during May, and we hypothesize that new receptors, and perhaps their interneurons in the telencephalon, are being generated in anticipation...
