Delayed and transient increase of adult hippocampal neurogenesis by physical exercise in DBA/2 mice.

This study builds on the findings that physical activity, such as wheel running in mice, enhances cell proliferation and neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus of the common mouse strain C57BL/6, and that the baseline level of neurogenesis varies by strain, being considerably lower in DBA/2. Because...
