Neurogenesis Signaling

Meaning

Neurogenesis Signaling refers to the complex biochemical communication pathways that regulate the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of neural stem cells into new functional neurons within the adult brain, primarily in the hippocampus. This process is crucial for cognitive plasticity, memory formation, and mood regulation. In the hormonal health domain, the integrity of this signaling is profoundly influenced by neurosteroids, growth factors like Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), and stress hormones. Enhancing this signaling is a key target for improving long-term neurological health and cognitive resilience.
