Subject: NIH Neuroscience Seminar Series: May 3, 2010
You are invited to attend the NIH Neuroscience Series lecture on May 3,
2010 at noon in the Lipsett Amphitheater of the NIH Clinical Center, 10
Center Drive, Bethesda, MD.
ELIZABETH GOULD, PH.D., Department of Psychology and Neuroscience Institute,
Princeton University, will present the seminar on "Structural plasticity in
the adult mammalian brain"
Dr. Gould's laboratory studies structural plasticity in the adult mammalian
brain with the ultimate goal of determining the functional consequences of
continued plasticity. They are interested in identifying the environmental,
hormonal and neural stimuli that drive changes in structural plasticity. To
this end, they are characterizing the regulation of dendritic architecture,
dendritic spines and adult neurogenesis by stimuli such as stress, rewarding
experience, physical activity, aging, and parenting. Adult neurogenesis in
the mammalian hippocampus occurs at a relatively high rate in the dentate
gyrus of rodents, though the extent to which new neurons are important for
hippocampal function is a matter of ongoing debate and investigation.
