The relationship between adult hippocampal neurogenesis and spatial learning and memory in natural populations of food-storing red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) Previous research on the relationship between spatial memory and adult hippocampal neurogenesis has been controversial. In the present study, neurogenesis was compared between two natural populations of the same species that differ in their reliance on spatial memory to cache and retrieve stored food. Western red squirrels store food in a single site whereas eastern red squirrels store food in multiple sites. Neurogenesis was assessed using endogenous markers of the number of proliferating cells (Ki-67) and the number of immature neurons (DCX), and neuronal recruitment was determined by measuring the area of the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. The number of proliferating cells, immature neurons and neuronal recruitment... Categories: Publication; Types: Citation; Tags: Mammals, Monitoring 1-Changes in Plant and Animal Distribution: Fauna

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
