Intervention of Proliferation and Differentiation of Endogenous Neural Stem Cells in the Neurodegenerative Process of Huntington's Disease Phenotype

Abstrakt
The objectives of this review are to describe neurogenesis in the adult murine and human brain (with particular emphasis to morphological aspects of this process) and to determine to what extent it is affected in animal models of HD and in the human HD brain. Due to very limited evidence referring to the impact of striatal pathology of HD phenotype on the adult neurogenesis in the SEZ, some results gained from our studies on two rat models of HD, i.e. the neurotoxic lesion and transgenic HD rats, and on human HD brains are discussed.
