How brain regulates memory and mood
A research by an Indian-origin scientist has identified two types of stem cells that can help in solving the mystery surrounding how brain regulates diverse functions such as memory and mood. The discovery of the stem cells in the hippocampus, a region of the brain vital for learning and memory, may have implications for the treatment of learning- and mood-related disorders.
Melbourne: A research by an Indian-origin scientist has identified two types of stem cells that can help in solving the mystery surrounding how brain regulates diverse functions such as memory and mood. The discovery of the stem cells in the hippocampus, a region of the brain vital for learning and memory, may have implications for the treatment of learning- and mood-related disorders.
"The stem cells we have identified give rise to new neurons, the production of new neurons in the brain is essential for learning and cognitive function," said the study's lead author Dhanisha Jhaveri from the University of Queensland in Australia. "Previously, these neurons were thought to be identical, so it was not understood how the region is able to regulate behaviours as divergent as learning and mood," Professor Perry Bartlett, director of the Queensland Brain Institute, said.
He further added that the discovery solved a longstanding mystery about the birth of new neurons in the hippocampus.
