Research Abstract |
In adult brain, neural stem cells is known to proliferate and differentiate with regulation by endogenous and exogenous factors. Developing model animals for neuronal degeneration and regeneration, we found trimethyltintreated mice as a model. Using the model, we evaluated that NMDA signals, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, inflammatory cytokines, and microglia contribute to neurogenesis following neuronal loss in the hippocampal dentate gyrus.
