Cytoarchitecture of the human and rat neurogenic niche and SVCT2 expression. Rat (A) and human neurogenic niche (B), showing type-B GFAP-positive cells (blue cells) in the ependymal, contacting the CSF (grey cells) and subventricular neuroblasts (red cells). SVCT2 is expressed principally in the ependyma and in GFAP-negative and βIII-tubulin-negative type C subventricular progenitor cells (green cell). OB, olfactory bulb; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; RMS, rostral migratory stream; VZ, ventricular zone; SVZ, subventricular zone.
