Adult neurogenesis is defined as the generation of newborn functional neurons during adulthood. In addition to the canonical neurogenic niches in the hippocampus and lateral ventricles, the hypothalamus has recently been shown to exhibit adult neurogenesis. We first aimed to elucidate the regulation...
