Developmental neurobiology: A destructive switch for neurons
Peter K. Jackson1
Abstract
In the developing nervous system, tremendous multiplication and diversification of cells elaborate the exquisite pattern of the brain. But how do cells shift from early proliferation to assume their mature states?
Control of cell division in the developing nervous system is a highly orchestrated process that sets up the patterns for the extended structure of the brain. In the embryonic brain, the division of neuroblasts — the precursors of neurons — occurs in specific proliferative zones.
