The neuroscience community has witnessed a tremendous expansion of glia research. Glial
cells are now on center stage with leading roles in the development, maturation, and …

Radial glia is a cell type traditionally associated with the develo** nervous system,
particularly with the formation of cortical layers in the mammalian brain. Nonetheless, some …

Severe traumatic injury to the adult mammalian CNS leads to life-long loss of function. By
contrast, several non-mammalian vertebrate species, including adult zebrafish, have a …

The diverse functions of glial cells prompt the question to which extent specific subtypes may
be devoted to a specific function. We discuss this by reviewing one of the most recently …

In all vertebrate species studied thus far, the adult central nervous system harbors neural
stem cells that sustain constitutive neurogenesis, as well as latent neural progenitors that …

Neurogenesis in the develo** central nervous system consists of the induction and
proliferation of neural progenitor cells and their subsequent differentiation into mature …

Sex steroid hormones are synthesized from cholesterol and exert pleiotropic effects notably
in the central nervous system. Pioneering studies from Baulieu and colleagues have …

Unlike that of mammals, the brain of teleost fish exhibits an intense aromatase activity due to
the strong expression of one of two aromatase genes (aromatase A or cyp19a1a and …

The neural stem cell (NSC) reservoir can be harnessed for stem cell-based regenerative
therapies. Zebrafish remarkably regenerate their brain by inducing NSC plasticity in a …

Neural stem cells in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the adult mammalian forebrain are a
potential source of neurons for neural tissue repair after brain insults such as ischemic …
