Astrocytes are specialized glial cells that outnumber neurons by over fivefold. They contiguously tile the entire central nervous system (CNS) and exert many essential complex functions in the ...
Adult neurogenesis, a process of generating functional neurons from adult neural precursors, occurs throughout life in restricted brain regions in mammals. These are the dentate gyrus of the ...
The neural plate is a key developmental structure that serves as the basis for the nervous system. Opposite the primitive streak in the embryo, ectodermal tissue thickens and flattens to become the ...
Inheritance of the basal process has been linked to cell fate specification. For symmetric divisions that expand the progenitor pool at the onset of neurogenesis, the basal process of ...
The neural tube is the precursor to the central nervous system of the vertebrate embryo, which comprises the brain and the spinal cord. The neural groove gradually deepens as the neural folds ...
The subventricular zone is an area, located between the ventricular and intermediate zones in the fetal forebrain, in which neurons of the cerebrum are generated. The subventricular zone of the ...
The ventricular zone is the place where cortical neurons are generated. It is located next to the ventricles. At first, this zone contains "progenitor" cells, which divide to produce neurons and ...
