Method for Stimulation of Hippocampal Neurogenesis by Transient Microneedle Insertion.

Method for Stimulation of Hippocampal Neurogenesis by Transient Microneedle Insertion. Methods Mol Biol. 2019;1919:227-235 Authors: Song S, Kong X, Sanchez-Ramos J Abstract Brief stereotaxic insertion and removal of a microneedle into the hippocampus of mice result in stimulation of hippocampal neurogenesis. This approach has been previously applied to a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (Song et al., Cell Transplant 25:1853-1861, 2016). Further studies of fundamental cellular mechanisms of the brain's response to micro-injury will be useful for investigation of potential neuroprotective and deleterious effects of targeted microlesions and deep brain stimulation in neurodegenerative diseases.
