Introduction: One of main research interests in the Snyder lab is exploring the role of adult-born hippocampal neurons in learning and memory, and whether the function of these neurons changes in non-stressful vs. stressful learning situations. To explore this issue we are using the Morris water maze (MWM), arguably the…
Dendrites are the extensions of neurons that receive incoming information. Neurons have primary dendrites that further split off into secondary and tertiary dendritic branches. On each of these branches are thousands of synaptic connections with axons of neurons carrying incoming information. The result is a dendritic tree that is capable of receiving…
