cell bodies, actually grow in the emotion and thought regions that
support parenting behaviors.
When they selectively eliminated
supporting cells in
newborn mice, nearby
cells rapidly replaced them, thereby preserving hearing.
Their answer, garnered through a series of electrophysiology, dendritic spine density and immunohistochemistry experiments with mice that were genetically altered to produce either more new neurons or kill off
newborn neurons,
supports the second model — some of the cortical neurons transfer their connections from mature granule
cells to the new granule
cells.
