Embryonic neurodevelopment, particularly neural progenitor differentiation into post-mitotic
neurons, has been extensively studied. While the number and composition of post-mitotic …

During brain development, the sequence of developmental steps and the underlying
transcriptional regulatory logic are largely conserved across species. However, the temporal …

Neural precursors generate neurons in the embryonic brain and in restricted niches of the
adult brain in a process called neurogenesis. The precise control of cell proliferation and …

During development of the mammalian nervous system, neural stem cells generate neurons
first and glia second, thereby allowing the initial establishment of neural circuitry, and …

Neurogenesis persists in adult mammals in specific brain areas, known as neurogenic
niches. Adult neurogenesis is highly dynamic and is modulated by multiple physiological …

The delayed and prolonged postmitotic maturation of human neurons, compared with
neurons from other species, may contribute to human-specific cognitive abilities and …

Adult neurogenesis in the mammalian brain is often viewed as a continuation of
neurogenesis at earlier, developmental stages. Here, we will critically review the extent to …

During embryonic development, neural stem/progenitor cells generate hundreds of different
cell types through the combination of intrinsic and extrinsic cues. Recent data obtained in …

In mammals, the length of gestation and the timing of developmental milestones are fixed,
with only minor variation between individuals of the same species. However, across species …

The addition of new neurons and oligodendroglia in the postnatal and adult mammalian
brain presents distinct forms of gray and white matter plasticity. Substantial effort has been …
