Behavioural Effects of Adult Vitamin D Deficiency in BALB/c Mice Are not Associated with Proliferation or Survival of Neurons in the Adult Hippocampus
This paper concludes that adult vitamin D deficiency was not associated with impaired proliferation or survival of adult born neurons in BALB/c mice and that the impact on rodent behaviour may not be due to altered neurogenesis per se, but to altered function of new hippocampal neurons or processes independent of adult neurogenesis. Mice were housed in Optimice cages. Keywords: AVD, Adult Vitamin D deficiency, neurogenesis development, Nutrition, Nutritional deficiencies, Optimice, mice, mouse
