Adult neurogenesis is the process by which neural stem cells give rise to new functional
neurons in specific regions of the adult brain, a process that occurs throughout life …

Background Exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) during development and/or in
adulthood has been associated in many human studies with both neurodevelopmental and …

Background Increasing evidence links diverse forms of air pollution to neuroinflammation
and neuropathology in both human and animal models, but the effects of long-term …

In addition to increased morbidity and mortality caused by respiratory and cardiovascular
diseases, air pollution may also contribute to central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Traffic …

Background: Air pollution is linked to central nervous system disease, but the mechanisms
responsible are poorly understood. Objectives: Here, we sought to address the brain-region …

Accumulating evidence suggests a deleterious role for urban air pollution in central nervous
system (CNS) diseases and neurodevelopmental disorders. Microglia, the resident innate …

Epidemiological studies indicate that exposure to diesel exhaust (DE) is associated with
vascular‐based disorders. To investigate the effect of DE on blood–brain barrier (BBB) …

Brain disorders and environmental factors can affect neurogenesis and gliogenesis in the
hippocampus. These studies investigated the effects of chronic exposure to tobacco smoke …

Microglia are the resident immune cells of the brain, important for normal neural
development in addition to host defense in response to inflammatory stimuli. Air pollution is …

Diesel exhaust consists of diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) and gaseous compounds.
Previous studies reported that in utero exposure to diesel exhaust affects the central nervous …
