Relationship between neurogenesis in the brains of adult organisms and the neurodegenerative disease / 基础医学与临床

ABSTRACT

It is very common that the number of neurons in the brain is progressively decreasing in the neurodegen-erative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease, etc.Moreover, it is much more important that there is a decline in the neurogenesis of adult brain in such neurodegenerative diseases. In treating neurodegenerative diseases, it is a potential therapeutic modality to promote endogenous neurogenesis in the brain.
