Compelling evidence indicates that hippocampal dentate granule cells are generated throughout human life and into old age. While animal studies demonstrate that these new neurons are important for memory function, animal research also implicates these cells in the pathogenesis of temporal lobe epilepsy. Several recent preclinical studies in rodents now suggest that targeting these new neurons can have disease-modifying effects in epilepsy.
有力证据表明,海马齿状颗粒细胞在人类一生中持续产生,直至老年。虽然动物研究表明这些新神经元对记忆功能很重要,但动物研究也表明这些细胞与颞叶癫痫的发病机制有关。最近几项针对啮齿动物的临床前研究表明,针对这些新神经元可能对癫痫具有疾病修饰作用。
