Isn't that what your neurologist is for?

Abstract
Neuroglobin
is a hypoxia-inducible, neuroprotective protein related to myoglobin
and hemoglobin, but little is known about its neurodevelopmental
expression or function. To begin to explore these issues, we measured
neuroglobin protein expression during neuronal differentiation of human
embryonic stem cells in vitro and in the neurogenic subventricular zone
of adult rats in vivo. Neuroglobin protein expression was barely
detectable by western blotting in human embryonic stem cells, but was
readily demonstrable in neural stem cells, and was further induced upon
differentiation to neurons. In the adult subventricular zone,
neuroglobin expression coincided with that of the neuronal lineage
marker doublecortin, but not with vimentin or glial fibrillary acidic
protein. These findings suggest that neuroglobin is expressed early in
the course of neuronal differentiation and may, therefore, have a role
in neurodevelopment.
