In the central nervous system, NG2‐glia represent a neural cell population that is distinct
from neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. While in the past the main role ascribed to …

Adult neurogenesis involves persistent proliferative neuroprogenitor populations that reside
within distinct regions of the brain. This phenomenon was first described over 50 years ago …

Adult neurogenic niches harbor quiescent neural stem cells; however, their in vivo identity
has been elusive. Here, we prospectively isolate GFAP+ CD133+(quiescent neural stem …

The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) is an important source of neuromodulators and has been
implicated in a wide variety of behavioral and neurological disorders. The DRN is …

The ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ) harbors adult neural stem cells. V-SVZ neural
stem cells exhibit features of astrocytes, have a regional identity, and depending on their …

Neural stem cells (NSCs) reside in specialized niches in the adult mammalian brain. The
ventricular–subventricular zone (V‐SVZ), adjacent to the lateral ventricles, gives rise to …

New neurons and glial cells are generated in an extensive germinal niche adjacent to the
walls of the lateral ventricles in the adult brain. The primary progenitors (B1 cells) have …

Regulation of hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenocortical (HPA) axis activity by stress is a
fundamental survival mechanism and HPA-dysfunction is implicated in psychiatric disorders …

Highlights•Stem cells span different compartments of the niche and integrate both local and
long-range signals.•Anchorage to the niche, biophysical properties of the niche, such as …

The ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ) is an extensive germinal niche containing
neural stem cells (NSCs) in the walls of the lateral ventricles of the adult brain. How the adult …
