Methods to study adult hippocampal neurogenesis in humans and across the phylogeny
Abstract The hippocampus hosts the continuous addition of new neurons throughout life—a phenomenon named adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN). Here we revisit the occurrence of AHN in more than 110 mammalian species, including humans, and discuss the further validation of these data by single‐cell RNAseq and other alternative techniques. In this regard,

Identifying gaps in our understanding of the effects of anthropogenic land‐use change on the spread of zoonotic pathogens originating in mammals. We found skew in the geographic distribution of studies, with Africa being under‐represented, key hosts of zoonotic diseases, like bats, being under‐studied, key pathogen groups not studied in all hosts, and ...
