NEUROGENESIS
| Pronunciation (US): |  | (GB): | |
I. (noun)
Sense 1
Meaning:
The development of nerve tissues
Classified under:
Nouns denoting natural processes
Hypernyms ("neurogenesis" is a kind of...):
development; growing; growth; maturation; ontogenesis; ontogeny ((biology) the process of an individual organism growing organically; a purely biological unfolding of events involved in an organism changing gradually from a simple to a more complex level)
Context examples:
Neurogenesis is normally reduced by depression and chronic stress, and this reduction is thought to be clinically relevant to the development of depression.

This gene is involved in both notch-mediated signaling and neurogenesis.
(DLL3 Gene, NCI Thesaurus)
The ADAM gene products with known functions act in a highly diverse set of biological processes, including fertilization, neurogenesis, myogenesis, embryonic TGF-alpha release and the inflammatory response.
(ADAM Family Gene, NCI Thesaurus)
This protein is involved in binding to notch proteins, mesoderm development and neurogenesis.
(Delta-Like Protein 3, NCI Thesaurus)
Major glycoprotein of basement membrane and other extracellular matrix structures; serves as an adhesive, chemoattractant, and cell activator during neurogenesis and other cell growth events.
(Laminin, NIH CRISP Thesaurus)
HIF-1 is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-PAS family of transcription factors known to induce gene expression by binding to a 50-bp HRE containing a core 5'-ACGTG-3' sequence. bHLH-PAS proteins heterodimerize to form transcription complexes that regulate O2 homeostasis, circadian rhythms, neurogenesis, and toxin metabolism.
(Hypoxia-Inducible Factor Pathway, NCI Thesaurus/BIOCARTA)
Specifically, they investigated the impact of on the process of brain cell formation, called neurogenesis, which is known to occur in the hippocampus, a brain region highly involved in depression and antidepressant response.
