The work of the group focuses on both basic and therapeutic aspects of the formation of new neurons in the adult brain. Special attention is given to the effect of the physical exercise and an enriched environment or stress. With this goal, we evaluate hippocampus-dependent learning and memory, anxiety-like and depressive-like behaviours, as well as its impairments during some neurodegenerative diseases.
