神经发生、血管内皮生长因子与血管性认知损害

Neurogenesis, vascular endothelial growth factor and vascular cognitive impairment

神经发生是神经前体细胞自我增殖和分化产生新神经元的动态过程。研究证实,海马神经发生可改善认知功能,并且血管内皮生长因子（vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF）在神经发生中发挥着重要的调控作用。文章就 VEGF 促进神经发生的机制以及神经发生改善血管性认知损害的作用进行了综述。

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.
