Adult Neurogenesis in the Mammalian Brain: Significant Answers and Significant Questions
Adult neurogenesis, a process of generating functional neurons from adult neural precursors, occurs throughout life in restricted brain regions in mammals. The past decade has witnessed tremendous progress in addressing questions related to almost every aspect of adult neurogenesis in the mammalian brain. Here we review major advances in our understanding of adult mammalian neurogenesis in the ...
متن کاملThe Social Environment and Neurogenesis in the Adult Mammalian Brain
Adult neurogenesis - the formation of new neurons in adulthood - has been shown to be modulated by a variety of endogenous (e.g., trophic factors, neurotransmitters, and hormones) as well as exogenous (e.g., physical activity and environmental complexity) factors. Research on exogenous regulators of adult neurogenesis has focused primarily on the non-social environment. More recently, however, ...
متن کاملFunctional implications of hypothalamic neurogenesis in the adult mammalian brain.
Adult neurogenesis represents a striking example of structural plasticity in the mature brain. Research on adult mammalian neurogenesis today focuses almost exclusively on two areas: the subgranular zone (SGZ) in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, and the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricles. Numerous studies, however, have also reported adult neurogenesis in the hypothalamus,...
متن کاملInjury-induced neurogenesis in the adult mammalian brain.
The persistence of neurogenesis in the adult mammalian forebrain suggests that endogenous precursors may be a potential source for neuronal replacement after injury or neurodegeneration. Limited knowledge exists, however, regarding the normal function of neurogenesis in the adult and its alteration by brain injury. Neural precursors generate neurons throughout life in the mammalian forebrain su...
متن کاملEpigenetic regulation of neurogenesis in the adult mammalian brain.
Epigenetic regulation represents a fundamental mechanism to maintain cell-type-specific gene expression during development and serves as an essential mediator to interface the extrinsic environment and the intrinsic genetic programme. Adult neurogenesis occurs in discrete regions of the adult mammalian brain and is known to be tightly regulated by various physiological, pathological and pharmac...
