Resumen de Proliferación Neuronal Cerebral en humanos adultos:: una nueva esperanza terapéutica
Luis R. Araya M., Freddy D. Camargo B.
The human brain has been along the history, a motif of intrigue and fascination for many civilizations and cultures. The development of the neuroscience has allowed to know its anatomy, histology and physiology thoroughly, but in spite of having been accepted the generation of cerebral neurons in the first years of life, it has been settled down the dogma that in the adulthood the neurons are not divided neither they are renewed under any circumstance, for what any neuron cannot be replaced and the glia alone can proliferate. However, recently it has been discovered that in adults the neurons can also be renovated (from stem pluripotent cells located mainly in the hippocampus) in animals as in human by means of Neurogenesis, and that this could be a physiologic process manageable with therapeutic purposes for the treatment of neurodegenerative illnesses.
