Hippocampal neurogenesis levels predict WATERMAZE search strategies in the aging brain.

The hippocampus plays a crucial role in the formation of spatial memories, and it is thought that adult hippocampal neurogenesis may participate in this form of learning. To better elucidate the relationship between neurogenesis and spatial learning, we examined both across the entire life span of m...
