The effect of adult neurogenesis in plasticity has attracted significant interest in recent years. It has been found in most species that have been studied, including invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Although a great deal is understood about its role in the brains of mice and rats, much less is known about other species. Given the widespread presence of adult neurogenesis, it is reasonable to assume that it has had a functional role, or multiple functional roles, in the course of brain evolution. The contributors to this publication are researchers who investigate the relationship between adult neurogenesis and environmental and hormonal effects in a wide range of species from crustacea to mammals. Emphasis is on such factors as stress coping, environmental complexity, learning, including song learning, and social interaction.
