Methods for treating disorders of neuronal deficiency with bone marrow-derived cells

摘要

The invention provides novel methods of treating neurological disorders which result in the loss of neurons (neuronal deficiencies). Bone marrow-derived cells are administered to individuals suffering from neuronal deficiencies. Administration of bone marrow-derived cells results in formation of new neurons in the nervous system, thereby replacing lost neurons. The methods of the invention may also be used for memory augmentation in memory impaired individuals.
