摘要
New and exciting findings reported by Shingo and colleagues indicate that the hormone prolactin stimulates neurogenesis in adult female mice. New neurons produced in the forebrain during pregnancy and lactation migrate to the olfactory bulb where they likely participate in processing olfactory cues received by the new mother as she adapts to the needs and challenges of raising young.
