title: Neurogenesis in the adult goldfish cerebellum.
abstract: Neurogenesis was studied in the cerebellum of adult goldfish, to establish the phenomenon in this popular laboratory animal model. BrdU and proliferating cell nuclear antigen labeling revealed a high rate of cell proliferation within the molecular layer of the cerebellar corpus and valve. Most newborn cells expressed the neuronal marker beta-III-tubulin after 24 hr, supporting the goldfish cerebellum as an excellent paradigm to study vertebrate adult neurogenesis.
