Neurogenesis Stimulation Therapy encompasses therapeutic interventions specifically designed to promote the formation of new, functional neurons (neurogenesis), primarily within neurogenic niches such as the subgranular zone of the hippocampus. This approach aims to actively increase the brain’s inherent capacity for structural renewal and synaptic plasticity. It represents a regenerative strategy applied to neurological health optimization.
Origin
This term is derived from developmental biology, applied here in the context of adult brain plasticity, focusing on stimulating the creation of new neural cells through systematic means. The therapy aspect implies the application of known enhancers derived from research into brain health. It recognizes that neurogenesis is a dynamic process responsive to environmental and hormonal cues.
Mechanism
Stimulation often involves optimizing systemic factors that successfully cross the blood-brain barrier to influence neural stem cell proliferation and subsequent differentiation into mature neurons. For instance, elevated levels of BDNF and optimized sex hormone profiles, particularly estrogenic activity, are known to significantly drive this proliferative cascade. Physical exercise remains a powerful endogenous mechanism that synergizes with therapeutic input to increase the survival rate of these newly generated neurons.
