Resumen
Vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) is achieved through multiple orders of developmental processes including neural induction, regionalization of the neural tube, proliferation of neural stem cells, cell type determination, and neurogenesis. Our understanding of vertebrate brain development has been deepened recently. The differentiation of the brain regions is initiated by organizing signals that regulate the expression of transcription factors, which in turn determine the regionalities. The differences in the signal strength and the competence of the recipient cells cause the differential outputs, thus regulating the differentiation of the neighboring regions. Specific type of neurons and glial cells differentiates depending on their birth place and time.
Neurogenesis in the adult brain of vertebrates was discovered half a century ago. This phenomenon has attracted much attention recently, as the newly generated neurons are integrated in already established architecture of...
