In the 1980s, it was widely accepted that new neurons are continuously generated in the dentate gyrus of the mammalian hippocampus. Since its acceptance, researchers have employed various techniques and behavioral paradigms to study the proliferation, differentiation, and functional role of adult-born neurons. This literature thesis aims to discuss how optogenetics is able to overcome the limitations of past techniques and provide the field with new insights into the functional role of neurogenesis. We will review the current knowledge on both adult hippocampal neurogenesis and optogenetics, present representative studies using optogenetics to investigate neurogenesis and discuss potential limitations and concerns involved in using optogenetics
