Preview. Adult neurogenesis is altered by GABAergic imbalance in models of Alzheimer's disease.
Early stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) affect hippocampal function. In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Li et al. (2009) and Sun et al. (2009) propose abnormal GABA signaling as a trigger for impaired network plasticity in the AD hippocampus.
