Highlights

  • In vitro assays are key tools for deciphering the cellular and molecular mechanisms of adult neurogenesis

  • Recent developments in genetic methods to identify and manipulate newborn neurons are invaluable tools to progress in the study of adult neurogenesis

  • Luzzati et al (2011) developed a new procedure suitable to analyze neurogenesis in parenchymal neurogenic niches, which represents a reliable alternative to the whole mount approaches to analyze cyto-architectural features of www.frontiersin.org

Summary

Introduction

In vitro assays are key tools for deciphering the cellular and molecular mechanisms of adult neurogenesis. Babu et al (2011) present a detailed protocol for isolation and enrichment of neural precursor cells from mouse adult hippocampal neurons. They highlight potential modifications to the protocol useful for isolating and expanding precursor cells from other brain regions.
