Abstract

Neural stem cells (NSCs) within the hippocampal niche integrate local cues, such as activity of inhibitory interneurons, into their homeostatic fate choices. Now in Cell Stem Cell, Bao et al. (2017) describe how these local interneurons relay signals from distal brain regions to govern NSC quiescence and activation.
