Figure 5. Model of neural stem cell heterogeneity.

Figure 5

A schematic representation of a transverse section through the third and fourth ventricles of a 10.5 dpc embryo is shown. Dorsal is on the right. Colors indicate cells that activate the midbrain-enhancer (A) or the CNS enhancer (B). C depicts cells that express nestin protein. The comparison identifies three populations of neuroepithelial cells: Population 1 is nestin+/CNS-enhancer+/MB-enhancer+; population 2 is nestin+/CNS enhancer+/MB-enhancer−; and population 3 is nestin+/enhancer−.
