ABSTRACT

The neurogenesis was explored in the adult bactrian camel using immunohistochemistry approach. The numerous cells were found in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus and the olfactory bulb by antibody against Doublecortin (DCX), which demonstrates that the neurogenesis also occurs in the adult bactrian camel.
Key words: Bactrian camel, dentate gyrus, neural stem cell, neurogenesis, olfactory bulb
