M. Llorens-Martín and other researchers from the Autonomous University of Madrid in Spain analyzed the human brain hippocampus (hippocampus, responsible for long and short-term memory, spatial positioning, etc.) is believed to have lifelong nerve cell regeneration activities and contribute to neuroplasticity. Changes in the (dentategyrus (DG)) region in aging and various neurodegenerative diseases. It is found that with aging and neurodegenerative diseases, the homeostasis of the dentate gyrus region is destroyed, which is manifested as: an increase in microvessels, small Decreased phagocytic capacity of glial cells (microglia) , astrogliosis (astrogliosis) , and accompanying impairment of adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN) activity.

The researchers said that this work directly analyzed the changes of its key components with aging and neurodegenerative diseases directly in the dentate gyrus of the human brain. The study of this dynamic process can reveal adult hippocampal neuroregeneration, which is very important in the adult brain. Rare nerve regenerative activities, specific physiological functions.

This work was published in Science(1) on October 22, 2021.

Comments:

It is quite unique to compare the changes in multiple neurodegenerative diseases at the same time. It can provide many clues based on specific disease manifestations. In addition, in the future, further combination of single cell sequencing , spatial transcriptome and animal experiments can further answer the questions about the hippocampus. Physiological functions of nerve cell regeneration and its potential regulatory mechanisms.
