Problem
I. Read the article New Nerve Cells for the Adult Brain
II. This should be in ESSAY format .
i. What is the previous evidence that stem cells did exist in the adult brain? (This should be dates, with a brief explanation of the studies)
ii. Where can we find stem cells in the brain? What is so important about these brain structures? (For example: Why do we find excess stem cells in these structures but not in others?)
iii. How can stem cell proliferation be inhibited?
iv. How might neurogenesis be related to learning and memory?
