CNS precursors

Recent years have witnessed an explosion of information about the nature and roles of precursor cell populations in the developing and adult CNS. Nature Reviews Neuroscience presents a series of articles that describe recent advances in the identification of precursor cells and in our understanding of their regulation and functional roles.
