Our brains are remarkably complex structures and they consist of billions of neurons forming circuits that preserve our memories, skills and behavior. But what happens when entirely new neurons have to join these established networks? Do they quietly slip into place, or do they reshape the brain around them? If questions like these spark your curiosity, join DBJC for an exciting discussion led by Andrea.
This week’s DBJC features a study on adult neurogenesis in the zebra finch brain that investigates the interactions between immature migratory neurons and mature neurons, highlighting an unexpected level of structural flexibility in adult neural circuits.
The Paper: Songbird connectome reveals tunneling of migratory neurons in the adult striatum
