Pharmacological Neurogenesis

Meaning

Pharmacological Neurogenesis is the targeted induction or measurable enhancement of new neuron formation from endogenous neural stem cells within the adult brain, particularly concentrated in the hippocampus, through the systemic administration of specific pharmaceutical agents. This therapeutic strategy is explicitly aimed at actively counteracting neurodegenerative processes, significantly improving measurable cognitive function, and effectively modulating the symptoms of mood disorders such as major depression. It represents a direct, structural intervention designed to restore and augment functional brain capacity.
