... n . The growth of new neurons to replace damaged ones. Throughout most of the 20th century, neuroscientists believed that this regenerative capacity was absent from the central nervous system and that it occurred only in the peripheral nervous system , but it was discovered shortly before the end of the century that neural stem cells in the ventricles and the hippocampus of the brain divide and proliferate, and that some of them migrate to other areas of the brain such as the olfactory bulbs to form new neurons. Techniques to stimulate...

achaete-scute complex

achaete-scute complex  

A complex locus in Drosophila first identified by mutations that affected the development of adult bristles. Lack of the entire complex results in the failure of neurogenesis during the embryo stage. ...

MCPH

MCPH  

A gene at p23 on human chromosome 8 that controls prenatal neurogenesis. Null alleles of this gene cause homozygotes to have abnormally small heads and to be mentally retarded. This condition is ...
Runt

Runt  

A protein of Drosophila that is involved in sex determination, segmentation, and neurogenesis. Its DNA‐binding domain is homologous with that of Lozenge (of Drosophila) and AML1 (of human). Several ...

methylCpG-binding protein 2  

A protein (MeCP2, 486 aa) that binds to methylated CpG-rich regions of DNA and that contributes to silencing (see DNA methylation and genomic imprinting). MeCP2 regulates gene expression in neurons ...
