neuroepithelial cells

Science; Basic science

Neuroepithelial cells are the "stem cells" of the nervous system, deriving from actual stem cells in several different stages of neural development. These neural stem cells then ...

radial glial cells

Science; Basic science

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 ...

neural progenitor

Science; Basic science

A progenitor cell is a cell type that, like a stem cell, has a tendency to differentiate into a specific type of cell, but is already more specific than a stem cell and is pushed ...

adult neurogenesis

Science; Basic science

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 ...

astrocyte

Science; Basic science
