Ventricular zone
Videos
In vertebrates, the ventricular zone is a transient embryonic layer of tissue containing neural stem cells, principally radial glial cells, of the central nervous system. The VZ is so named because it
The VZ and SVZ are indicated by immunohistochemical labelling of Sox2 and Tbr2 gene expression in the embryonic mouse forebrain at embryonic day 13.5. The dorsal telencephalon becomes the cerebral cortex, and contains the Tbr2-labeled cells. CP, cortical plate; LV, lateral ventricle; MGE, medial ganglionic eminence
Subventricular zone

The subventricular zone is a region situated on the outside wall of each lateral ventricle of the vertebrate brain. It is present in both the embryonic and adult brain. In embryonic life, the SVZ refe

…distances to their final destination in the developing brain or spinal cord where they will establish neural circuits. A secondary proliferative zone, the subventricular zone (SVZ), lies adjacent to the VZ. In the embryonic cerebral cortex, the SVZ contains intermediate neuronal progenitors that continue to divide into…
