“…From the periventricular layer of the OB, these new neurons migrate radially into the granular and glomerular layers where they become functionally integrated into the OB circuitry [Peretto et al, 1997;Bedard and Parent, 2004;Lledo et al, 2006]. This continuous supply of new neurons to the OB has been reported in all mammalian species studied to date, including the four afrotherian species studied herein [Pencea et al, 2001;Bedard et al, 2002;Bedard and Parent, 2004;Alpár et al, 2010;Bartkowska et al, 2010;Ngwenya et al, 2011;Patzke et al, 2013a, b]; however, this rostral migration seems to be absent in humans [Eriksson et al, 1998;Bergmann et al, 2012], with some studies suggesting that newly generated neurons in the human OB are generated locally [Bedard and Parent, 2004].…”
