94
Q

What are the two roles of the radial glial cells during the mid period of neurogenesis

A

The first role is to divide and form dedicated neuronal progenitors that will form specific types of post mitotic neurons and the second role is to stay attached to both surfaces of the neural tube and provide a scaffolding along which post mitotic neurons can migrate

A

Semaphorin 3a

106
Q

What happens during the development of inhibitory neurons that accounts for the radical difference in expression between excitatory and inhibitory neurons of cerebral cortex?

A

There is a suppression of Delta – notch signaling and the precursive cell fuels the switch from APC to OPC

A

The Noto chores sells secrete the anti-BMP‘s

115
Q

Are anti-BMT permissive or instructive cues
