In 1962, Altmanl proposed that neurogenesis takes place in the cerebral cortex of adult rats. Between 1963 and 1969, Altman and coworkers found adult and juvenile neurogenesis to be especially prominent in the granule cell populations of both the hippocampus and olfactory Kaplan and Hinds” subsequently showed that these newly formed cells had the ultrastructural characteristics of neurons. In the meantime, Bayer and Altman” obtained circumstantial evidence that the number of granule cells in the hippocampus was increasing in the adult period, while Roselli-Austin and Altman” found the number of granule cells in the olfactory bulb to remain constant during adult life. This paper summarizes recent comparing the patterns of adult neurogenesis in these two populations of the rat brain.
