Alvarez-Buylla's lab studies the mechanism of adult neurogenesis: neural stem cells, migration and integration. The team is interested in the extent to which new neurons continue to be recruited in the postnatal human brain. They are also investigating how local circuit inhibitory neurons adjust their numbers once they arrive in cortex.
