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 ...
Neuroblasts represent the last stage of precursor cell development before cells exit the cell cycle and assume their identity as neurons. Proliferation of these cells is more limited, although ...
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 ...
In developmental biology, cellular differentiation is the process by which a less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell type. Neuronal differentiation means the acquisition of specific ...
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 ...
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 ...
