Social behavior, hormones and adult neurogenesis
M Opendak, BA Briones, E Gould - Frontiers in neuroendocrinology, 2016 - Elsevier
A variety of experiences have been shown to affect the production of neurons in the adult
hippocampus. These effects may be mediated by experience-driven hormonal changes, which, …
