Stem/progenitor cells are present in the adult brain; they undergo constant proliferation and differentiate into mature neurons in certain brain areas, a phenomenon called neurogenesis. This study investigated the effects of GDNF, a potent trophic factor of dopaminergic neurons, on neurogenesis in the brain. Nestin and 5-Bromo-2’-deoxyuridine (BrdU) were used as stem/progenitor cells markers. First, we observed extensive bilateral increases of stem/progenitor cells in the dentate gyrus and substantia nigra after continuous infusion of GDNF into the normal rat brain. However, none of the BrdU+ cells showed neuronal features in the substantia nigra as characterized by immunocytochemical procedures. Next, we identified the morphology of BrdU+ ...
