ELSC-ICNC Seminar: Daniela Kaufer
A lecture given by: Daniela Kaufer Department of Integrative Biology Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute, UC Berkeley On the topic of: "The role of adult hippocampal stem cells in stress, fear and emotional memory" Thursday, December 20, 2012 Abstract: While the developing brain often receives the most credit for ability to change in response to the environment, the adult CNS is also characterized by a great deal of plasticity. The ability to create new cells - known as neurogenesis and gliogenesis -- is one of the most unique and intriguing aspects of adult CNS plasticity both because it reveals a unique cell population that continues to proliferate beyond development and because it is highly sensitive to environmental input. In this seminar I will present recent research efforts in my lab studying the regulation of adult stem cell in the hippocampus -- their proliferation, differentiation, functional maturation and integration into existing circuitry, and their involvement in stress, fear, and potential to influence mental health.
