Plasticity - Kempermann et al (1998) - evidence of increased number new neurons in brains of rats in complex environments compared to lab cages. Complex - increase in neurons in huppocampus, associated w/ formation of new mems + ability to navigate.
Plasticity - Maguire et al (2000) - Amount of grey matter in brains of taxi drivers + set control participants. Posterior hippocampus taxi drivers larger.
Functional recovery after trauma - Tajiri et al (2013) - randomly assigned rats w/ traumatic brain injury 2 groups. 1) transplants stem cells in region of brain affected. 2) solution infused into brain, no stem cells. 3 months later, stem cell rats brains developed.
