Abstract
INTRODUCTION. Brain ischemia and
reperfusion produce alterations in the microenvironment of the
parenchyma, including ATP depletion, ionic homeostasis alterations,
inflammation, release of multiple cytokines and abnormal release of
neurotransmitters. As a consequence, the induction of proliferation and
migration of neural stem cells towards the peri-infarct region occurs.
DEVELOPMENT. The success of new neurorestorative treatments for damaged
brain implies the need to know, with greater accuracy, the mechanisms in
charge of regulating adult neurogenesis, both under physiological and
pathological conditions. Recent evidence demonstrates that many
neurotransmitters, glutamate in particular, control the subventricular
zone, thus being part of the complex signalling network that influences
the production of new neurons. CONCLUSION. Neurotransmitters provide a
link between brain activity and subventricular zone neurogenesis.
Therefore, a deeper knowledge of the role of neurotransmitters systems,
such as glutamate and its transporters, in adult neurogenesis, may
provide a valuable tool to be used as a neurorestorative therapy in this
pathology.
