Stanford Study Reveals Separate Progenitor Origins for Forebrain and Hindbrain

Stanford Study Reveals Separate Progenitor Origins for Forebrain and Hindbrain

Stanford University researchers announced that their study, published in Nature Neuroscience, identified distinct progenitor cell populations that give rise separately to the forebrain and the hindbrain. The finding, first reported in earlier papers, overturns the long-standing view that a single starter cell type generates the entire brain. Earlier reports in Nature, The Independent and Medical Xpress described the same discovery and noted its potential to improve laboratory models of brain-stem diseases and to facilitate the production of specific neuronal types for disease research.
