title: Adult-born neurons in the olfactory bulb: integration and functional consequences.
abstract: The generation of new neurons is sustained throughout life in the olfactory system. In recent years, tremendous progress has been made toward understanding the proliferation, differentiation, migration, and integration of newborn neurons in the olfactory bulb. Here, we discuss recent findings that shed light on different aspects of the integration of adult-born neurons into olfactory circuitry and its significance for behavior.
