Adult neurogenesis is often considered an archaic trait that has undergone a'phylogenetic
reduction'from amphibian ancestors to humans. However, adult neurogenesis in the …

The walls of the cerebral ventricles in the developing embryo harbor the primary neural stem
cells from which most neurons and glia derive. In many vertebrates, neurogenesis continues …

An emerging approach with potential in improving the treatment of neurodegenerative
diseases and brain tumors is the use of focused ultrasound (FUS) to bypass the blood–brain …

The human amygdala grows during childhood, and its abnormal development is linked to
mood disorders. The primate amygdala contains a large population of immature neurons in …

Studies on brain plasticity have undertaken different roads, tackling a wide range of
biological processes: from small synaptic changes affecting the contacts among neurons at …

Plasticity, and in particular, neurogenesis, is a promising target to treat and prevent a wide
variety of diseases (eg, epilepsy, stroke, dementia). There are different types of plasticity …

The adult mammalian brain is mainly composed of mature neurons. A limited amount of
stem cell-driven neurogenesis persists in postnatal life and is reduced in large-brained …

A cohort of morphologically heterogenous doublecortin immunoreactive (DCX+)“immature
neurons” has been identified in the cerebral cortex largely around layer II and the amygdala …

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive and lethal brain tumor in adults. Its invasive
nature currently represents the most challenging hurdle to surgical resection. The …

Presence of neural stem cells in adult mammalian brains, including human, has been clearly
demonstrated by several studies. The functional significance of adult neurogenesis is slowly …
