Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia, characterized by progressive memory loss, cognitive decline, and emotional dysregulation. Adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) critically contributes to cognition and mood but undergoes precipitous decline during AD progression. Here, we investigated whether enhancing AHN through genetic expansion of endogenous neural stem cells (NSC) ameliorates AD-related phenotypes.
