Abstract
In this article, Saghatelyan and colleagues show that olfactory epithelium-derived neural stem cells adapt their developmental program in response to heterotopic neurogenic niche factors after grafting in vivo . They migrate and differentiate into ectopic brain region neurons that are indistinguishable in their morpho-functional properties from endogenous adult-born neurons.
