neurodevelopment Flashcards
when is the brain completely anatomicallys/structurally/myelin complete
7 years old
end of trimester are neurons fully formed?
Yes and apoptosis starts as axons start search for targets
Radial glial are important because
Radial glial cells are bipolar-shaped cells that span the width of the cortex in the developing vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) and serve as primary progenitor cells capable of generating neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes.
