Adult neurogenesis during disease.
| Disease | Area | Rodent data | Human data |
|---|---|---|---|
| Epilepsy | Hippo. | Acute increase in proliferation | Increase in pNPCs and proliferation in pediatric patients |
| Acute increase in neurogenesis | Increase or no change in proliferation in adult patients | ||
| Aberrant and ectopic new neurons Chronic depletion |
Decrease, no changed or increase in pNBs in adult patients | ||
| Huntington's disease | SVZ | Increased or unchanged SVZ proliferation migration of new neurons into the striatum | Increase in proliferation; thicker SVZ increase in pNPCs and pNBs |
| Alzheimer's disease | SVZ | Decrease in proliferation Decrease in differentiation |
Decrease in proliferation Increase in pNPCs |
| Hippo. | Increase, no change or decrease in proliferation Increase in neurogenesis Decrease in differentiation and survival of newborn neurons |
No change in proliferation Increase in pNBs |
|
| Parkinson's disease | SVZ | Decrease in proliferation Transient decrease in OB neurogenesis Increase in OB neurogenesis and total neurons |
Decrease in proliferation Decrease in putative OB progenitors Increase in OB neurogenesis and DA neurons |
| Hippo. | Decrease in proliferation No proliferation or NPCs |
Decrease in pNPCs | |
| S. nigra | Induction of neurogenesis | No proliferation or pNPCs | |
| Stroke | SVZ | Increase in proliferation Increase in neurogenesis |
NR |
| Hippo. | Increase in proliferation Increase in neurogenesis |
NR | |
| Striatum | Induction of neurogenesis from SVZ progenitors | NR | |
| Cortex | Induction of neurogenesis from SVZ progenitors | Increase in proliferation Increase in pNBs |
|
| Depression | Hippo. | Antidepressants increase proliferation and neurogenesis | Increase or no changes in proliferation |
| Increase in pNPCs in patients treated with antidepressants |
