Description:	Stem cells residing in germinal regions in the adult brain continuously generate large numbers of neurons which become integrated into neural circuits. In mammals, new neurons are incorporated into areas important for olfaction and for memory formation. The addition of thousands of neurons each day provides a powerful means of sculpting brain circuitry. Although the functional consequences of adult neurogenesis are not yet understood, much has been learned about their cellular lineage. NIH Neuroscience Seminar Series
