Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is the most prevalent growth factor in the central
nervous system (CNS). It is essential for the development of the CNS and for neuronal …

Mortality due to opioid use has grown to the point where, for the first time in history, opioid-
related deaths exceed those caused by car accidents in many states in the United States …

This paper is the 29th consecutive installment of the annual review of research concerning
the endogenous opioid system, now spanning 30 years of research. It summarizes papers …

BACKGROUND: As knowledge deepens about how new neurons are born, differentiate,
and wire into the adult mammalian brain, growing evidence depicts hippocampal …

J. Neurochem.(2010) 112, 1368–1385. Abstract The differentiation of neural stem cells
toward a neuronal phenotype is determined by the extracellular and intracellular factors that …

Perinatal opioid exposure has a negative effect on neurogenesis and produces neurological
consequences. However, its mechanisms of action are incompletely understood …

The link between neuroinflammation and neurogenesis is an area of intensive research in
contemporary neuroscience. The burgeoning amount of evidence accumulated over the …

Adult neurogenesis occurs throughout life in the mammalian hippocampus and is essential
for memory and mood control. There is significant interest in identifying ways to promote …

The importance of adult neurogenesis has only recently been accepted, resulting in a
completely new field of investigation within stem cell biology. The regulation and functional …

During the past decade, the study of the mechanisms and functional implications of adult
neurogenesis has significantly progressed. Many studies focus on the factors that regulate …
