Neurogenesis (birth of neurons) is the process by which neurons are generated. Most active during pre-natal development, neurogenesis is responsible for populating the growing brain with neurons.

[edit] Adult neurogenesis

Doublecortin expression in the rat dentate gyrus, 21st postnatal day. Oomen et al., 2009.[2]

New neurons are continually born throughout adulthood in predominantly two regions of the brain:

Many of the newborn cells die shortly after they are born, but a number of them become functionally integrated into the surrounding brain tissue.

Adult neurogenesis is an example of a long-held scientific theory being overturned. Early neuroanatomists, including Santiago Ramon y Cajal, considered the nervous system fixed and incapable of regeneration. The first evidence of adult mammalian neurogenesis in the cerebral cortex was presented by Joseph Altman in 1962,[3] followed by a demonstration of adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus in 1963.[4] In 1969, Joseph Altman discovered and named the rostral migratory stream as the source of adult generated granule cell neurons in the olfactory bulb.[5] Up until the 1980s, the scientific community ignored these findings in spite of the fact that the most direct method of demonstrating cell proliferation was used in the early studies, i. e. 3H-thymidine autoradiography. By that time, Shirley Bayer [6][7] (and Michael Kaplan) again showed that adult neurogenesis exists in mammals (rats), and Nottebohm showed the same phenomenon in birds[8] sparking renewed interest in the topic. Studies in the 1990s[9][10] finally put research on adult neurogenesis into a mainstream pursuit. Also in the early 1990s hippocampal neurogenesis was demonstrated in non-human primates and humans.[11][12] More recently, neurogenesis in the cerebellum of adult rabbits has also been characterized.[13] Further, some authors (particularly Elizabeth Gould) have suggested that adult neurogenesis may also occur in regions within the brain not generally associated with neurogenesis including the neocortex.[14][15][16] However, others[17] have questioned the scientific evidence of these findings, arguing that the new cells may be of glial origin.

[edit] Neurogenesis and learning

The functional relevance of adult neurogenesis is uncertain,[18] but there is some evidence that hippocampal adult neurogenesis is important for learning and memory.[19] Multiple mechanisms for the relationship between increased neurogenesis and improved cognition have been suggested, including computational theories to demonstrate that new neurons increase memory capacity,[20] reduce interference between memories,[21] or add information about time to memories.[22] Experiments aimed at ablating neurogenesis have proven inconclusive, but several studies have proposed neurogenic-dependence in some types of learning.[23] and others seeing no effect[24] Studies have demonstrated that the act of learning itself is associated with increased neuronal survival.[25] However, the overall findings that adult neurogenesis is important for any kind of learning are equivocal.

[edit] Neurogenesis and stress

Adult-born neurons appear to have a role in the regulation of stress. Studies have linked neurogenesis to the beneficial actions of specific antidepressants, suggesting a connection between decreased hippocampal neurogenesis and depression.[26][27] In a subsequent paper, scientists demonstrated that the behavioral benefits of antidepressant administration in mice is reversed when neurogenesis is prevented with x-irradiation techniques.[28] In fact, new-born neurons are more excitable than older neurons due to a differential expression of GABA receptors.[citation needed] A plausible model, therefore, is that these neurons augment the role of the hippocampus in the negative feedback mechanism of the HPA-axis (physiological stress) and perhaps in inhibiting the amygdala (the region of brain responsible for fearful responses to stimuli).[vague] Indeed, in a recent paper it was shown that suppression of adult neurogenesis leads to an increased HPA-axis stress response in mildly stressful situations.[29] This is consistent with numerous findings linking stress-relieving activities (learning, exposure to a new yet benign environment, and exercise) to increased levels of neurogenesis, as well as the observation that animals exposed to physiological stress (cortisol) or psychological stress (e.g. isolation) show markedly decreased levels of new-born neurons.

Some studies have hypothesized that learning and memory are linked to depression, and that neurogenesis may promote neuroplasticity. One study proposes that mood may be regulated, at a base level, by plasticity, and thus not chemistry. Accordingly, the effects of antidepressant treatment would only be secondary to change in plasticity.[30]

[edit] Effect of sleep reduction and stress levels on neurogenesis

One study has linked lack of sleep to a reduction in rodent hippocampal neurogenesis. The proposed mechanism for the observed decrease was increased levels of glucocorticoids. It was shown that two weeks of sleep deprivation acted as a neurogenesis-inhibitor, which was reversed after return of normal sleep and even shifted to a temporary increase in normal cell proliferation.[31]

[edit] Neurogenesis and Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the nigrostriatal projection. Transplantation of fetal dopaminergic precursor cells has paved the way for the possibility of a cell replacement therapy that could ameliorate clinical symptoms in affected patients.[32] Recent years have provided evidence for the existence of neural stem cells with the potential to produce new neurons, particularly of a dopaminergic phenotype, in the adult mammalian brain.[33][34][35] Experimental depletion of dopamine in rodents decreases precursor cell proliferation in both the subependymal zone and the subgranular zone.[36] Proliferation is restored completely by a selective agonist of D2-like (D2L) receptors.[36] Neural stem cells have been identified in the neurogenic brain regions, where neurogenesis is constitutively ongoing, but also in the non-neurogenic zones, such as the midbrain and the striatum, where neurogenesis is not thought to occur under normal physiological conditions.[32] A detailed understanding of the factors governing adult neural stem cells in vivo may ultimately lead to elegant cell therapies for neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease by mobilizing autologous endogenous neural stem cells to replace degenerated neurons.[32]

[edit] Neurogenesis and behavioral sensitization

Reinforcing drugs such as amphetamines and opiates induce behavioral sensitization upon repeated administration by inducing dopaminergic neurogenesis in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc).[37][38][39][40][41] This occurs through activation of dopamine receptors in these areas which produces glutamate release and subsequent elevation of local basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) concentrations.[37][38][39][40][41] The consequences of these actions are potentiated reward responses and therefore increased drug cravings and consumption which underlie abuse and addiction. Whether these mechanisms could be exploited for the purpose of enhancing basal hedonic tone is unknown.

[edit] Neurogenesis and exercise

Scientists have shown that physical activity in the form of voluntary exercise results in an increase in the number of newborn neurons in the hippocampus of aging mice. The same study demonstrates an enhancement in learning of the "runner" (physically active) mice.[42] While the association between exercise-mediated neurogenesis and enhancement of learning remains unclear, this study clearly demonstrates the benefits of physical activity and could have strong implications in the fields of aging and/or Alzheimer's disease.

[edit] Neurogenesis and old age/Alzheimer's disease

Allopregnanolone, a neurosteroid, aids the continued neurogenesis in the brain. Levels of allopregnanolone in the brain decline in old age and Alzheimer's disease.[43] Allopregnanolone has been shown through reversing impairment of neurogenesis to reverse the cognitive deficits in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.[44]

[edit] Regulation of neurogenesis

Many factors may affect the rate of hippocampal neurogenesis. Exercise and an enriched environment have been shown to promote the survival of neurons and the successful integration of newborn cells into the existing hippocampus.[45][46][47] Another factor is central nervous system injury since neurogenesis occurs after cerebral ischemia,[48] epileptic seizures,[49] and bacterial meningitis.[50] On the other hand, conditions such as chronic stress and aging can result in a decreased neuronal proliferation.[51][52][53]

[edit] Adult neural stem cells

Main article: neural stem cell

Neural stem cells (NSCs) are the self-renewing, multipotent cells that generate the main phenotypes of the nervous system.

[edit] Cannabis and neurogenesis

Some studies have shown that use of cannabis results in the growth of new nerve cells in the hippocampus from both embryonic and adult stem cells. In 2005 a clinical study of rats at the University of Saskatchewan showed regeneration of nerve cells in the hippocampus.[54] However, studies with long term cannabis users concluded a clear reduction of hippocampal and amygdala volumes.[55]
