Cranial Radiation Therapy and Damage to Hippocampal Neurogenesis
Monje, Michelle
Developmental Disabilities Research Reviews, v14 n3 p238-242 2008
Cranial radiation therapy is associated with a progressive decline in cognitive function, prominently memory function. Impairment of hippocampal neurogenesis is thought to be an important mechanism underlying this cognitive decline. Recent work has elucidated the mechanisms of radiation-induced failure of neurogenesis. Potential therapeutic interventions are emerging.
