Neuroprotective and Ameliorative Actions of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Against Neuronal Diseases: Implication of Fatty Acid–Binding Proteins (FABP) and G Protein–Coupled Receptor 40 (GPR40) in Adult Neurogenesis

Abstract.: Adult neurogenesis in the mammalian brain is well-known to occur in the subgranular zone of the hippocampus. As the hippocampus is related to learning, memory, and emotions, adult hippocampal neurogenesis possibly contributes to these functions. Adult neurogenesis is modulated by polyunsa...
