Where this comes from

Abstract

Hippocampal neural stem cells (NSCs) and neurogenesis decline sharply with age, though a small population remains. Two articles in this issue of Cell Stem Cell by Ibrayeva et al. (2021) and Harris et al. (2021) indicate the presence of subpopulations of NSCs whose dynamics of activation and self-renewal change over time and may be key to NSC preservation.
