DCX and Cerebral ischemia: Under pathological conditions in rodent models like after cerebral ischemia and stroke, WBV may also promote the expression of different neurotrophic factors and neurogenesis-related markers such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF1), and doublecortin (DCX) (Huang et al., 2018; Raval et al., 2018).
