Solving the Neurogenesis Puzzle: Looking for Pieces Outside the Traditional Box.

摘要: The vast majority of what is considered fact about adult neurogenesis comes from research on laboratory mice and rats: where it happens, how works, does. However, this relative exclusive focus two rodent species has resulted in a bias we think neurogenesis. While might not prevent us making conclusions the evolutionary significance process or even generalizing to diverse mammals, certainly does help achieve these outcomes. Here, argue that there every reason expect striking differences neurogenesis: Species-specific adaptations brain behavior are paramount survival reproduction ecological niches naive escaped pressures. A neuroethological approach study essential for comprehensive understanding phenomenon. Furthermore, most guilty strong assertions our data order have impact yet ultimately creates work performed, interpreted, applied. By taking step back actually placing results much larger, non-biomedical context, can reduce dogmatic thinking create framework discovery.
