New Neurons Migrate in Adults

Posted by A Neurodudes Reader at 9:53 PM EST

We’ve heard in the past about neurogenesis in adults, but as far as we understand, this only happens in limited locations throughout the brain. However, what if those new neurons migrate to different places?

New evidence in mice suggests that after being born, new neurons can travel along the flow of spinal fluid to end up in the olfactory bulb.

If there is migration to other locations in the brain, the ramifications for computational models of brain systems are significant.

Feeds are periodically added and subtracted, but hopefully reflects the blogrolls below (but doesn't yet -- it's still under construction), except for those feeds which Yahoo Pipes had trouble processing, a list of which can be seen by checking the Pipe page.

Bayle's working on Google Reader bundles for neuroscience journals, and other neuro feeds. Like the Ultimate Neurodudes Feed, these are heavily under construction, and probably aren't very good yet.

Here's a neurodudes' friend feed on Twitter, which follows a bunch of people who often post interesting material.
