Neural development: Regional influence

Nature Reviews Neuroscience 18, 455 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrn.2017.96 Author: Sian Lewis In mice, the ventricular–subventricular zone (V–SVZ) continuously produces neural stem cells (NSCs). Proopiomelanocortin-expressing (POMC+) neurons of the hypothalamus were found to project selectively to anterior ventral (AV) regions of the V–SVZ. Ablation of these neurons decreased NSC proliferation selectively in the AV V–SVZ,
