Types of NSC divisions in the ventricular zone are determined by spindle orientation and the inheritance of cell fate determinants. Symmetric divisions generate 2 NSCs, whereas asymmetric division generates 1 NSC and 1 differentiating daughter cell. During neural expansion, most divisions are symmetric, whereas during neurogenesis, most divisions are asymmetric. BP indicates basal progenitor; NSC, neural stem cell.
