Investigação de tipos e origem celular neurogênicos em áreas diversas do sistema nervoso central da espécie Cebus apella

Abstract

Identifying populations of neuronal precursors and stem cells generated by own central nervous system has held discussions on its possible use in the repair of damage caused by acute disorders of the central nervous system. However, in the case of adult mammalian brain, such generation is considered evolutionarily restricted to two areas: subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, and the walls of the lateral ventricles where new neurons are continuously generated. We used 6 non-human primates, adults, males of the species Cebus (capuchin monkey, 10 years old), weighing between 2.1 and 2.8 kg (mean 2.5 kg) pretreated with BrdU that after sacrifice and because histological processing, their tissues were analyzed for immunohistochemical analysis using anti-BrdU anti-Nestin, and Sox2 anti-DCX in diverse areas of the Central Nervous System. The ventricular walls showed the presence of neuroblasts similar to that observed in previous studies, but unexpected results were also observed in areas such as the frontal cortex.
