PREVENTION OF DEFICITS IN NEUROGENESIS WITH ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AGENTS

摘要

Methods are provided for protecting an individual from adverse long-term effects of neuroinflammation. Inflammatory blockade maintains neurogenesis capability after cranial irradiation by reducing the negative effects of activated microglia on neural precursor cells. These findings have broad implications for a variety of diseases of cognition, involving neuroinflammation and precursor cell dysfunction.
