Response to Comment on "Impact of neurodegenerative diseases on human adult hippocampal neurogenesis"

J Terreros-Roncal et al. Science. .

Abstract

Alvarez-Buylla and colleagues provide an alternative interpretation of some of the data included in our manuscript and question whether well-validated markers of adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) are related to this phenomenon in our study. In Terreros-Roncal et al., reconstruction of the main stages of human AHN revealed its enhanced vulnerability to neurodegeneration. Here, we clarify ambiguities raised by these authors.
