Human Hippocampal Neurogenesis Persists throughout Aging (2018, neutral): “In aging mice, more progenitors were found to undergo astrocytic differentiation (Encinas et al., 2011), and there were more astrocytes and microglia (Maurya and Mishra, 2017; Mouton et al., 2002).”
Division-Coupled Astrocytic Differentiation and Age-Related Depletion of Neural Stem Cells in the Adult Hippocampus (2011, background): “In contrast to new neurons, the number of hippocampal astrocytes increases with age (Mouton et al., 2002; Pilegaard and Ladefoged, 1996); furthermore, they have an instructive role in adult neurogenesis through promotion of neuronal differentiation and integration of young neurons (Song et al.”
