Structural homo- and heterosynaptic plasticity in mature and adult newborn rat hippocampal granule cells [Neuroscience]

Adult newborn hippocampal granule cells (abGCs) contribute to spatial learning and memory. abGCs are thought to play a specific role in pattern separation, distinct from developmentally born mature GCs (mGCs). Here we examine at which exact cell age abGCs are synaptically integrated into the adult network and which forms of...
