Key role of Yap1 protein in the generation of new neurons for memory and learning in the adult brain
Neurogenesis is the process by which neural stem cells (NSCs) in the brain generate new neurons. Neurogenesis is a critical process in embryonic development, but it also continues after birth in certain brain regions and throughout adulthood. During adulthood, neurogenesis is primarily responsible for brain plasticity. In the adult hippocampus, a brain region responsible for …
