Neuronal Differentiation: is the process by which a neural stem cell changes to a specific neuron subtype. This occurs during early nervous system development and is a complex process that is orchestrated by intrinsic and environmental factors that guide each individual neural stem cell into its final form and location within the brain.

Neural stem cells exist in the adult mammalian brain throughout life. They reside in the subgranular layer of the dentate gyrus and in the subventricular zone. Neural stem cells have the capa...
