Compelling evidence indicates that hippocampal dentate granule cells are generated throughout human life and into old age. While animal studies demonstrate that these new neurons are important for memory function, animal research also implicates these cells in the pathogenesis of temporal lobe epilepsy. Several recent preclinical studies in rodents now suggest that targeting these new neurons can have disease-modifying effects in epilepsy.
