Juvenile neurogenesis makes essential contributions to adult brain structure and plays a sex-dependent role in fear memories

Postnatal-neurogenesis (PNN) contributes neurons to olfactory bulb (OB) and dentate gyrus (DG) throughout juvenile development, but the quantitative amount, temporal dynamics and functional roles of this contribution have not been defined. By using transgenic mouse models for cell lineage tracing an...
