Cell Proliferation and Cytogenesis in the Mouse Hippocampus

This research monograph reviews the results of the study of cell proliferation, cell death, neurogenesis and gliogenesis in the mouse hippocampus. The book presents original maps of distribution of mitoses and pyknoses in the developing Ammon's horn and dentate gyrus. It also gives an analysis of the location, age dynamics and origin of proliferating and dying cells. Data is given on how cell composition is formed. In the concluding section, the specific features of neurogenesis in the hippocampus and their possible relation to learning and memory processes are discussed. This monograph on anatomy, neurobiology, neurophysiology is intended for researchers and advanced students.
