Neurogenesis and neural stem cells in the dorsal vagal complex of adult rat brain: new vistas about autonomic regulations—a review
E Moyse, S Bauer, C Charrier, V Coronas… - Autonomic …, 2006 - Elsevier
The dorsal vagal complex (DVC) of the brainstem is the major reflex center of autonomic
nervous system. Several neuroplasticity effectors have been identified in the DVC of adult
rat, such as PSA-NCAM, GAP-43, BDNF and its receptor TrkB; moreover, acute vagal
stimulation was found to induce c-fos and to down-regulate western-blot-assayed tissular
concentration of PSA-NCAM. Adult neurogenesis was first shown in rat DVC by BrdU
incorporation combined with phenotypic labelling in situ; new neurons are generated in …
