Neurogenesis is the process by which nervous system cells, the neurons, are produced by neural stem cells. This occurs in all species of animals except the porifera and placozoans. Types of NSCs inclu

The primary neural stem cells of the brain and spinal cord, termed radial glial cells, instead reside in the ventricular zone (VZ) (so-called because…
