open access: Impaired Cognitive Function and Hippocampal Neurogenesis following Cancer Chemotherapy (Chemobrain)

 Blogger's Note: also refer to previous post regarding chemobrain research in mice, differences in the 2 studies include chemotherapy agents, but, same bottom line results (confirmation of side effects/adverse effects of chemotherapy treatments)

Impaired Cognitive Function and Hippocampal Neurogenesis following Cancer Chemotherapy


Conclusions (abstract): 
Our results show that chronic treatment with either of two commonly used chemotherapeutic agents impairs cognitive ability and suggest that strategies to prevent or repair disrupted hippocampal neurogenesis may be effective in ameliorating this serious side effect in cancer survivors.
