Implication of the microglia in adult neurogenesis process
Duration:
October 2017–December 2019
Project Summary
![beta-gal)](/files/15405/Adahir.png)
The aim of this project is to better understand how the microglia impact the neural stem cell niche and the role of these cells in the production of adult-born neurons, specifically in the dentate gyrus, to identify exact mechanisms implicated in this process. We are also interested in understanding how microglia modulate the production of adult-born neurons and, in turn, impact on the process of learning and memory under two main paradigms - exercise and ageing.
