dc.description.abstractAging is a natural human process that produces functional impairment. Numerous hypotheses try to explain human aging, such as seeing aging as an effect of the exhaustion of stem cells. Stem cells have renewal and differentiation capacity and the number of these cells decreases with aging. Brain is one of the most affected organs during aging. The decrease of Neural Stem Cells (NSC) reduces neuronal regeneration, provoking cognitive decline. Neurogenesis occurs in specific niches of the brain: the subventricular zone and the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. Recent studies have demonstrated that this neurogenesis occurs not only in the childhood but also as the individual ages. It is therefore extremely important to investigate how to maintain neural stem cell function during aging in order to reduce cognitive decline.; Zahartzea bizidun guztietan gertatzen den prozesu natural bat da, denbora igarotzea-ren ondoriozko gainbehera funtzional gisa defini daitekeena. Gaur egun, hainbat hipotesi proposatu dira zahartzearen zergatia azaltzeko, eta horien artean aurkitzen da zelula amak agortzearen ikerketa-lerroa. Zelula amak, berritze-gaitasuna izateaz gain, ondoren zelula diferentziatuak sortzeko gai dira, baina kopuru aldetik murriztuz doaz zahartzaroarekin. Zehazki, garuna da zahartzaroak fisiologikoki gehien kaltetzen duen organoa. Adinak eragindako garuneko zelula amen agortze honek neuronen berritzea zailtzen du eta, ondorioz, indibiduo helduetan ikus dezakegun gainbehera kognitiboa eragiten du. Neurogenesia garuneko eremu espezifikoetan gertatzen da, bentrikulu azpiko eremuan eta hipokanpoko granulu azpiko eremuan, eta azken ikerketen arabera, haurtzaroan zein zahartzaroan gertatzen den prozesu bat da. Beraz, oso garrantzitsua da zahartzaroan zehar zelula ama hauen funtzioa nola mantendu daitekeen ikertzea, alderdi kognitiboan gertatzen diren galerak ekiditeko.
