Adult neurogenesis, in which new neurons are generated within the hippocampus in the fully developed adult brain, occurs in mice -- but how new neurons are functionally integrated into existing brain circuitry has remained largely unknown. A study now shows an important new role for neurons generated during adulthood in consolidating memories during sleep in mice.
