Abstract
A growing branch of neuroscience is investigating conditions that perm it neurogenesis in the adult brain. Partially, this aims at using the neuroectodermal stem or precursor cells that persist in the adult brai n to induce neuroregenerative processes in the treatment for neurologi c disorders. in ex vivo approaches, isolated precursor cells are impla nted into the host brain,while in vivo concepts favor a stimulation of precursor cells in situ.
