An identified serotonergic neuron regulates adult neurogenesis in the crustacean brain.
New neurons are born and integrated into functional circuits in the brains of many adult organisms. In virtually all of these systems, serotonin is a potent regulator of neuronal proliferation. Specific neural pathways underlying these serotonergic influences have not, however, been identified and manipulated. The goal of this study was to test whether adult neurogenesis in the crustacean brain...
متن کاملThyroid hormone regulates hippocampal neurogenesis in the adult rat brain.
We have examined the influence of thyroid hormone on adult hippocampal neurogenesis, which encompasses the proliferation, survival and differentiation of dentate granule cell progenitors. Using bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), we demonstrate that adult-onset hypothyroidism significantly decreases hippocampal neurogenesis. This decline is predominantly the consequence of a significant decrease in the s...
متن کاملNeurogenesis in the adult brain.
A milestone is marked in our understanding of the brain with the recent acceptance, contrary to early dogma, that the adult nervous system can generate new neurons. One could wonder how this dogma originally came about, particularly because all organisms have some cells that continue to divide, adding to the size of the organism and repairing damage. All mammals have replicat-ing cells in many ...
متن کاملNeurogenesis in Adult Brain
The idea that the adult brain retains the capacity to generate new neurons has been proposed several times over the last 40 years, and in each case both conceptual and technical constraints have led to resistance. Joseph Altman first reported that some dividing cells in the adult brain survived and differentiated into cells with morphology similar to neurons using tritiated thymidine autoradiog...
متن کاملRegulation of life-long neurogenesis in the decapod crustacean brain.
This article provides an overview of our understanding of life-long neurogenesis in the decapod crustacean brain, where the proliferation of sensory and interneurons is controlled by many of the same factors as is neurogenesis in the mammalian brain. The relative simplicity, spatial organization and accessibility of the crustacean brain provide opportunities to examine specific neuronal pathway...
