Rather than a singular event that suddenly appears during adulthood, adult neurogenesis has long been recognized as the continuation of postnatal neurogenic activity. During the first postnatal weeks, significant cellular changes occur within and adjacent to germinal matrices of the subventricular zone and dentate gyrus. The majority of granule cells are generated during this period. In addition, radial glia are transformed into astrocyte-like stem cells, the ependymal layer is formed, and the highest rates of angiogenesis, gliogenesis and myelination are observed. The first postnatal weeks are critical as the brain growth rate is maximal, and changes during this period can have a great impact on neurogenesis levels and overall brain function later in life. This review chronicles cellular changes and some of the clinically relevant dysregulations that can occur during the postnatal period, and discusses the possible impact of these changes on neurogenesis and cognitive function later in life.
而不是一个单一的事件,突然出现在成年期,成人神经发生早已被公认为是出生后神经活动的延续。在出生后的头几周,在室下区和齿状回的生发基质内和附近发生了显著的细胞变化。大多数颗粒细胞在此期间产生。此外,放射状胶质细胞转变为星形胶质样干细胞,形成室管膜层,观察到最高的血管生成、神经胶质生成和髓鞘形成率。出生后的头几周是关键时期,因为大脑生长速度最快,在此期间发生的变化可能对成年后神经发生水平和整体大脑功能产生重大影响。这篇综述记录了出生后期间可能发生的细胞变化和一些临床相关的失调,并讨论了这些变化对成年后神经发生和认知功能的可能影响。
