## Abstract Adult neurogenesis, particularly in the subgranular zone, is thought to be linked with learning and memory. Chronic stress inhibits adult hippocampal neurogenesis and also impairs learning and memory. On the other hand, exposure to enriched environment (EE) is reported to enhance the su
Serotonin (5-HT) is believed to play a role in structural plasticity in the adult brain, and cell adhesion molecules may be involved in such adaptive processes. The present study sought to determine the effects of 5-HT denervation and reinnervation of the hippocampal formation on the expression of g
We used lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to activate microglia that play an important role in the brain immune system. LPS injected into the rat hippocampus CA1 region activated microglial cells resulting in an increased production of interleukin (IL)-1b and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a in the hippocampus
