Adult neurogenesis is a striking example of neuroplasticity, which enables adaptive network
remodelling in response to all forms of environmental stimulation in physiological and …

The process of cortical expansion in the central nervous system is a key step of mammalian
brain development to ensure its physiological function. Radial glial (RG) cells are a glial cell …

A common problem in neural stem cell research is the poor generation of neuronal or
oligodendroglial descendants. The author takes a developmental perspective to propose …

In the past years, many reports have described the existence of neural progenitor and stem
cells in the adult central nervous system capable of generating new neurons, astrocytes, and …

In a few regions of the adult brain, specialized astrocytes act as neural stem cells capable of
sustaining life-long neurogenesis. In other, typically non-neurogenic regions, some …

The generation of new neurons is a lifelong process in many vertebrate species that
provides an extra level of plasticity to several brain circuits. Frequently, neurogenesis in the …

The details of adult neurogenesis, including environmental triggers, region specificity, and
species homology remain an area of intense investigation. Slowing or halting age-related …

Human astrocytes provide trophic as well as structural support to the surrounding brain cells.
Furthermore, they have been implicated in many physiological processes important for …

Astroglial cells are the most frequent cell type in the adult mammalian brain, and the number
and range of their diverse functions are still increasing. One of their most striking roles is …

Neural stem cells continually generate new neurons in very limited regions of the adult
mammalian central nervous system. In the neurogenic regions there are unique and highly …
