## Abstract Estrogens are known to have broad effects on neuronal plasticity, but their specific role in neuronal cell death has not been determined. In the present study, we investigated the effects of Ξ²βestradiol on an experimental model of apoptosis of granule cells of the dentate gyrus, i.e., a
The granule cell layer of the adult dentate gyrus possesses two characteristics of an immature nervous system. The first is that granule cells continue to be generated in the innermost region of the granule cell layer, and newly generated and developing granule cells in the adult express highly poly
## Abstract Global ischemia promotes neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of the adult mouse hippocampus. Cyclooxygenase (COX)β2, the principal isoenzyme in the brain, modulates inflammation, glutamateβmediated cytotoxicity, and synaptic plasticity. We demonstrated that delayed treatment with differen
