Abstract

The subventricular zone (SVZ) is known to be the major source of neural stem cells in the adult brain. In rodents and nonhuman primates, many neuroblasts generated in the SVZ migrate in chains along the rostral migratory stream (RMS) to populate the olfactory bulb (OB) with new granular and periglomerular interneurons. In order to know if such a phenomenon exists in the adult human brain, we applied single and double immunostaining procedures to olfactory bulbs obtained following brain necropsy in normal adult human subjects. Double immunofluorescence labelling with a confocal microscope served to visualize cells that express markers of proliferation and immature neuronal state as well as markers that are specific to olfactory interneurons. Newborn cells that express cell cycle proteins [Ki-67, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)] were detected in the granular and glomerular layers (GLs) of the human olfactory bulb; these cells coexpressed markers of immature neuronal state, such as Doublecortin (DCX), NeuroD and Nestin. Numerous differentiating cells expressed molecular markers of early committed neurons [beta-tubulin class III (TuJ1)] and were also immunoreactive for glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), a marker of GABAer...Continue Reading

Cell Adhesion Molecules in the Brain

Cell adhesion molecules found on cell surface help cells bind with other cells or the extracellular matrix to maintain structure and function. Here is the latest research on their role in the brain.

Amygdala: Sensory Processes

Amygdalae, nuclei clusters located in the temporal lobe of the brain, play a role in memory, emotional responses, and decision-making. Here is the latest research on sensory processes in the amygdala.

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.

Amygdala and Midbrain Dopamine

The midbrain dopamine system is widely studied for its involvement in emotional and motivational behavior. Some of these neurons receive information from the amygdala and project throughout the cortex. When the circuit and transmission of dopamine is disrupted symptoms may present. Here is the latest research on the amygdala and midbrain dopamine.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.

Astrocytes in Repair & Regeneration

Astrocytes are glial cells found within the CNS and are able to regenerate new neurons. They become activated during CNS injury and disease. The activation leads to the transcription of new genes and the repair and regeneration of neurons. Discover the latest research on astrocytes in repair and regeneration here.
