About the Author
Arie Mobley

Dr. Mobley received her Ph.D. at the University of Utah, Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program. Her thesis project examined the olfactory sensory neurons of the cephalopod, Lolliguncula brevis. In her postdoctoral lab at Yale University she continued to study the olfactory system focusing on activity dependent mechanisms of development. Her research has been published in journals such as J. Neurosci., J. Comp. Neurol., Trends in Neurosci., Neurobiol. Aging and PNAS. Dr. Mobley has received several grants including the Ruth Kirstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) at the graduate level under Dr. Mary T. Lucero and at the postdoctoral level under Dr. Charles Greer. She went on to obtain an NIH Small Grant Program (R03) award that was instrumental in beginning her independent research program at WNEU.

Neural Stem Cells and Adult Neurogenesis
Comprehensive but easy to read. Well organized, provides excellent historical references which allows the reader to understand major points of neurogenesis and stem cell evolution. Well illustrated, provides visually dynamic overview of processes. Requires some initial knowledge of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. Excellent book for students, but a super resource for all the support staff at Biotech Companies.
