Tiny Cellular Antennae Trigger Neural Stem Cells, Yale University Study

ScienceDaily (Aug. 25, 2008) — Yale University scientists today reported evidence suggesting that the tiny cilia found on brain cells of mammals, thought to be vestiges of a primeval past, actually play a critical role in relaying molecular signals that spur creation of neurons in an area of the brain involved in mood, learning and memory.
