The role of the vasculature in the life of a neural stem cell (NSC). In this graphic illustration, the different stages in the life of a NSC are shown and the involvement of the vasculature is depicted by the distance of the cells from the blood vessels (BVs). For example, specification and commitment of NSCs appear to happen away from the vessels, whilst proliferation and migration in close proximity.
