+*, marker is expressed only in response to injury. +/−, two types of glia are found in this region. One with radial morphology and another non-radial. ND, no information regarding marker was found in these cells. The table illustrates radial glia markers’ presence during development and radial glia-like cells of adults in different cerebral regions. It takes into consideration markers found for rodents, zebrafish, and axolotl’s spinal cord. Table was created using the following references: Holder et al. (1990), Akimoto et al. (1993), Walder et al. (2003), Bernardos et al. (2007), Kageyama et al. (2008), Thummel et al. (2008); März et al. (2010), Hutton and Pevny (2011), Gotz et al. (2013), Sundholm-Peters et al.
