(2004, background): “One of the first studies that hinted about a role for adult neurogenesis in hippocampal physiology and function showed that mice housed with a running wheel, a treatment that increases neurogenesis in the DG, displayed improved learning in the Morris water maze and enhanced LTP at perforant pathDGC ”
