WHAT: Dr. Gould's research has shown that new neurons are produced in areas of the adult brain in mammals including primates. These cells thrive in enriched environments in which the animals are learning but can be destroyed by stress or unchallenging environments. Dr. Gould will discuss the underlying mechanism of new brain cell production.
WHO:
Elizabeth Gould, PhD, has done revolutionary work on neurogenesis, which is the regeneration of neurons and its effect on and by the environment.
