Neurogenesis is one of the most striking phenomena in the adult rodent brain, however, it is limited to only particular brain regions including the olfactory bulb and the dentate gyrus (Altman, 1962; Altman, 1963). In the subventricular zone (SVZ) newborn neurons are produced and travel a long distance through the rostral migratory stream to reach the OB where they become diverse types of interneurons (Doetsch and Alvarez-Buylla, 1996; Doetsch et al., 1999; Lim and Alvarez-Buylla, 2016).
