Neurons born in the adult dentate gyrus form functional synapses with target cells

Creative Commons 'BY' version 4.0 license
Abstract

Adult neurogenesis in hippocampus yields newly born granule cells that receive synaptic inputs from existing neurons. Characterizing morphological and functional features of newborn neurons in adult mice, Toni et al. demonstrate the functional maturation of their synaptic output onto the appropriate target cells in the hippocampus.
