“…Notably, environmental factors such as exercise and enriched home cages for rodents enhance NSPC proliferation [ 34 ] and the differentiation and survival [ 35 ] of new adult-born neurones, respectively. These phenomena have led to the identification of several factors generated outside of the CNS that regulate adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN), including irisin [ 36 ], klotho [ 37 ], cathepsin B [ 38 ], clusterin [ 39 ], eotaxin [ 40 ], growth differentiation factor11 (GDF11) [ 41 ], β 2 microglobulin (B2M) [ 42 ], and glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D1 (Gpld1) [ 43 ]. Similarly, calorie restriction increases AHN primarily by supporting differentiation and survival [ 44 ] via ghrelin signalling [ 12 , 45 ].…”
