The ageing systemic milieu negatively regulates neurogenesis and cognitive function.
Saul A Villeda, Jian Luo, Kira I Mosher, Bende Zou, Markus Britschgi, Gregor Bieri, Trisha M Stan, Nina Fainberg, Zhaoqing Ding, Alexander Eggel, Kurt M Lucin, Eva Czirr, Jeong-Soo Park, Sebastien Couillard-Després, Ludwig Aigner, Ge Li, Elaine R Peskind, Jeffrey A Kaye, Joseph F Quinn, Douglas R Galasko, Xinmin S Xie, Thomas A Rando and Tony Wyss-Coray
Abstract
We show that blood-borne factors present in the systemic milieu can inhibit or promote adult neurogenesis in an age-dependent fashion in mice. Accordingly, exposing a young mouse to an old systemic environment or to plasma from old mice decreased synaptic plasticity, and impaired contextual fear con... | PMID: 21886162
