study on neural stem cells vulnerable to ochratoxin A - comparison with cancer chemotherapy neuro issues

[Guest guest]

" Overall, these results lead to speculation that OTA exposure may

contribute to impaired hippocampal neurogenesis in vivo, resulting in

depression and memory deficits, conditions reported to be linked to

mycotoxin exposure in humans. "
