Adult Neural Stem Cell and Neurogenesis
The notion that the process of mammalian neurogenesis is completed
during early development has been a widely-held principle of neuroscience.
However, it has become clear that some regions of the adult brain
do produce some new neurons throughout life. The ability to produce
new neurons throughout life is due to a rare specialized stem
cell population in the adult brain. The present seminar will discuss
our current understanding of the extent, the biology, function,
and potential therapeutic uses of adult neural stem cells and
neurogenesis.
