An Endogenous Ligand of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor 6-Formylindolo[3,2-b]Carbazole (FICZ) Is a Signaling Molecule in Neurogenesis of Adult Hippocampal Neurons

In this study for the first time, we demonstrated that the endogenous ligand of AHR, FICZ, has a positive effect on short- and long-term memory as well as learning skills. This ability is possibly mediated by the AHR-Wnt/ß-catenin cross-talk.
