Ischemic stroke and neurogenesis in the subventricular zone

Neurogenesis in adult subventricular zone.

Much excitement has been generated by the identification of adult brain regions harboring neural stem cells and their continual generation of new neurons throughout life. This is an important departure from traditional views of the germinal potential of the postnatal brain. However, a more profound paradigm shift may be emerging. Studies of adult neurogenesis in the subventricular zone (SVZ) ha...

Proliferation in the human ipsilateral subventricular zone after ischemic stroke

Adult Subventricular Zone and Olfactory Bulb Neurogenesis

IN THE ADULT MAMMALIAN BRAIN, NEW NEURONS are added to the olfactory bulb (OB) throughout life. In rodents, the adult germinal region for OB neurogenesis is the subventricular zone (SVZ), a layer of cells found along the walls of the brain lateral ventricles (for review, see Alvarez-Buylla and Garcia-Verdugo 2002). Neuroblasts born in the SVZ migrate a relatively long distance into the OB where...

The Effect of TGF-alpha on Neurogenesis in Subventricular Zone of Rat Brain after Ischemia-Reperfusion

Introduction: Stroke is the third important reason of death in adults and an important cause of adult disability. Previous studies suggest that TGF-alpha can induce neurogenesis after stroke. Here in, we studied neurogenesis effects of the TGF-alpha on subventricular zone following ischemia-reperfusion. Male wistar rats (250-300 g) were divided into ischemia and treatment groups. After inductio...

Sex Steroids and Adult Neurogenesis in the Ventricular-Subventricular Zone

The forebrain ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ) continuously generates new neurons throughout life. Neural stem cells (type B1 cells) along the lateral ventricle become activated, self-renew, and give rise to proliferating precursors which progress along the neurogenic lineage from intermediate progenitors (type C cells) to neuroblasts (type A cells). Neuroblasts proliferate and migrate i...
