Abstract:
Neurogenesis is a dynamic process of neural precursor cel self-proliferation and differentiation into new neurons. Studies have confirmed that hippocampal neurogenesis may improve cognitive function, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important regulatory role in neurogenesis. This article reviews the mechanism of VEGF promoting neurogenesis and the role of neurogenesis in improving vascular cognitive impalrment.
