Abstract
Pediatric patients undergoing cranial irradiation are at risk of developing neurocognitive impairments. Mechanistically, radiation-induced injury to the hippocampi could play an important role in this debilitating condition, by inducing loss of neural stem/progenitor cells and neuroinflammation within this region. Noradrenergic (NA) agonists can potentially mitigate this radiation-induced cognitive decline by reducing cell death and inflammation. Therefore, we hypothesize that boosting NA through drugs will attenuate radiation-induced impairments in neurogenesis and decrease neuroinflammation, resulting in decreased memory dysfunction.
