“…Medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) precursors are mostly gliogenic, and their neurogenic capacity is uncertain and unconfirmed (Gould et al, 1999b;Magavi et al, 2000;Nowakowski and Hayes, 2000;Kornack and Rakic, 2001;Bernier et al, 2002;Ehninger and Kempermann, 2003;Koketsu et al, 2003;Kodama et al, 2004;Dayer et al, 2005;Madsen et al, 2005;Czeh et al, 2007;Ongur et al, 2007). However, evidence suggests that glia (astrocytes and oligodendrocytes) are necessary to maintain the structure and proper functioning of neurons and may in certain enriched environments support neurogenesis of neural stem cells (AlvarezBuylla et al, 2000;Kondo and Raff, 2000;Alvarez-Buylla and Lim, 2004;Sanai et al, 2004;Benarroch, 2005).…”
