Neurogenesis in the aging brain
Neurogenesis, or the birth of new neural cells, was thought to occur only in the developing nervous system and a fixed neuronal population in the adult brain was believed to be necessary to maintain the functional stability of adult brain circuitry. However, recent studies have demonstrated that neurogenesis does indeed continue into and throughout adult life in discrete regions of the central ...
متن کاملMajor unsolved points in adult neurogenesis: doors open on a translational future?
In spite of many data gathered during the last two decades on adult neurogenesis (AN) it is evident that such knowledge is not sufficient for granting translational outcomes in brain repair, especially if the ultimate goal is to promote cell replacement. Alternative strategies aimed at fostering AN physiological functions (restorative approaches) are still undefined. By asking the question whet...
متن کاملConstitutive and induced neurogenesis in the adult mammalian brain: manipulation of endogenous precursors toward CNS repair.
Over most of the past century of modern neuroscience, it was thought that the adult brain was completely incapable of generating new neurons. During the past 3 decades, research exploring potential neuronal replacement therapies has focused on replacing lost neurons by transplanting cells or grafting tissue into diseased regions of the brain. However, in the last decade, the development of new ...
متن کاملInteractions between environmental changes and brain plasticity in birds.
Neurogenesis and neuronal recruitment occur in many vertebrates, including humans. Most of the new neurons die before reaching their destination. Those which survive migrate to various brain regions, replace older ones and connect to existing circuits. Evidence suggests that this replacement is related to acquisition of new information. Therefore, neuronal replacement can be seen as a form of b...
متن کاملAdult neurogenesis 20 years later: physiological function vs. brain repair
Citation: Peretto P and Bonfanti L (2015) Adult neurogenesis 20 years later: physiological function vs. brain repair. Two decades of intense investigation in the field of adult neurogenesis (AN) provided us with a fully renewed vision of brain plasticity, involving stem/progenitor cells capable of generating new neu-rons and glial cells throughout life. We know for sure that new neurons produce...
