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 ...
Stem cells can divide symmetrically to generate daughter cells with similar fates. In the early mammalian cerebral cortex, neuroepithelial cells divide symmetrically to rapidly expand a stem cell ...
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 subgranular zone (SGZ) is a brain region in the hippocampus where adult neurogenesis occurs. It is one of the two major sites of adult neurogenesis in the brain, along with the subventricular ...
Radial glial cells are a widespread non-neuronal cell type in the developing CNS of all vertebrates examined so far. They were first identified as a transient population that serves as a scaffold for ...
A postmitotic neuron is a neuron that has exited the cell cycle. After exiting the cell cycle, cells are considered immature neurons. Postmitotic neurons undergo the process of neuronal ...
The oligodendrocyte or oligodendroglia is a type of cell in the central nervous system (CNS). The oligodendrocytes surround and insulate the long fibers (axons) through which the nerves send their ...
