Learning enhances adult neurogenesis in the hippocampal formationElizabeth Gould, Anna Beylin, Patima Tanapat, Alison Reeves
& Tracey J. Shors | | | | Figure 2. The number of new neurons in the granule cell layer (Gcl) of adult
rats increases following spatial learning in the Morris water maze.
Confocal laser scanning microscopic images of BrdU labeled cells (arrows)
reveal a difference in number between control (a) and spatial learning
(b) adult rats. The vast majority of BrdU labeled cells (arrows) had the
morphology of granule neurons and were immunoreactive for the marker of immature
neurons TOAD-64 (c) but not the astroglial marker GFAP (d).
GFAP-positive astrocytes that are not BrdU labeled are indicated by arrowheads.
