Adult neurogenesis : stem cells and neuronal development in the adult brain by Kempermann, Gerd instant download

x, 426 pages : 24 cm, \"This is the first comprehensive, integrated account of one of the most exciting areas of neuroscience. It begins with the historical background and discusses theories of adult neurogenesis and neural stem cell biology in the context of learning and memory processes as well as structural plasticity. It describes in detail neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus and olfactory system and then surveys the regulatory, functional, and comparative aspects, concluding with a chapter on the provocative hypotheses that link failing adult neurogenesis with such diseases as temporal lobe epilepsy, major depression, brain tumors, and dementias.\"--Jacket, Includes bibliographical references and index, History -- Neural stem cells -- Neuronal development -- Neurogenesis in the adult olfactory system -- Adult hippocampal neurogenesis -- Technical notes -- Neurogenic and non-neurogenic regions -- Regulation -- Function -- Adult neurogenesis in different animal species -- Medicine
