Convincing evidence has repeatedly shown that new neurons are produced in the
mammalian brain into adulthood. Adult neurogenesis has been best described in the …

Dopamine controls various physiological functions in the brain and periphery by acting on its
receptors D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5. Dopamine receptors are G protein–coupled receptors …

It is now widely accepted that neurogenesis occurs in two regions of the adult mammalian
brain—the hippocampus and the olfactory bulb. There is evidence for adult neurogenesis in …

Neural stem cells (NSCs) possess high potencies of self-renewal and neuronal
differentiation. We explored here whether transplantation of human NSCs cloned by v-myc …

Recent improvements in brain slice technology have made this biological preparation
increasingly useful for examining pathophysiology of brain diseases in a tissue context …

The recent identification of endogenous neural stem cells and persistent neuronal
production in the adult brain suggests a previously unrecognized capacity for self-repair …

In the developing brain, cell migration is a crucial process for structural organization, and is
therefore highly regulated to allow the correct formation of complex networks, wiring …

Neural stem/precursor cells in the adult brain reside in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the
lateral ventricles and the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus …

Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter implicated in the regulation of mood, motivation
and movement. We have reviewed here recent data suggesting that dopamine, in addition to …

Neural stem cells in the adult subventricular zone and dentate gyrus might be utilized to
replace lost neurons in neurological disorders. The development of treatments would be …
