title: Noisy neurons keep neural stem cells quiet.
abstract: Recently in Nature, Song et al. (2012) show that the neurotransmitter GABA acts directly on radial glia-like neural stem cells to maintain quiescence and provide a mechanism for how neuronal activity controls the production of new neurons in the hippocampus.
