Researchers found that voluntary aerobic wheel running in rodents doubles the proliferation and survival of new hippocampal granule cells, which directly enhances spatial pattern separation—the cognitive ability to distinguish between two highly similar environments. If a group of rodents is genetically modified to completely block adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus, one would predict that _______
