Bioelectric State and Cell Cycle Control of Mammalian Neural Stem Cells

Figure 1

Scheme representing cell types in the developing mammalian cortex with (from top to bottom) neurons, basal (BP), and apical (AP) progenitors forming the cortical plate (CP), intermediate (IZ), subventricular (SVZ), and ventricular (VZ) zones, respectively. Lineages are depicted (arrows). Note the distinction between apical and basolateral plasma membrane of AP establishing the apicobasal polarity of the developing cortex.
