Core Tip
Core tip: It was previously thought that the development of new neurons did not take place in the adult brain of higher vertebrates. There has been substantial progress in understanding neurogenesis in the adult brain during the last decade, showing that neural progenitor cells can induce neurogenesis, mainly in three areas: Subventricular zone, subgranular zone of the hippocampal dentate gyrus, and olfactory bulb. More recently, it has been shown that bone marrow progenitor cells can participate in neurogenesis in the adult brain. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms of the migration, differentiation, and maturation of bone marrow progenitor cells in the adult brain. We also consider the increase of adult neurogenesis following experimental seizures, provided that neuroinflammation is decreased by reducing the expression of chemokines, and consequently the related migration of inflammatory cells into the brain parenchyma.
