Abstract
The hippocampus is one of the few regions in the adult mammalian brain which is endowed with life-long neurogenesis. Despite intense investigation, it remains unclear how neurons newly-generated may retain unique functions that contribute to modulate hippocampal information processing and cognition. In this talk, I will present some recent findings revealing how enhanced forms of plasticity in adult-born neurons underlie the way they become incorporated into pre-existing networks in response to experience.
