Neural stem cells in the adult mouse SVZ are thought to only generate GABAergic olfactory bulb interneurons. This study reports that a dorsal region of the adult SVZ gives rise to a glutamatergic type of olfactory bulb neurons. These newborn glutamatergic neurons can be diverted to migrate into the cortex towards an injury, possibly contributing to repair.
