title: Finding the Roots of Adult Neurogenesis.
abstract: In select areas of the brain, neural stem cells produce new neurons throughout life. An elegant new study in this issue of Cell reveals the origins of a stem cell population that persists into adulthood and uncovers a surprising relationship between neurons born in the mature brain and those generated early in development.
