FGF-2-responsive neuronal progenitors reside in proliferative and quiescent regions of the adult rodent brain

TD Palmer, J Ray, FH Gage - Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, 1995 - Elsevier
Neurogenesis is restricted to discrete germinal zones within the developing and the adult
central nervous systems. With few exceptions, cells that migrate away from these zones and
into the parenchyma no longer participate in the generation of new neurons. In this work, we
have found that basic fibroblast growth factor is able to stimulate the proliferation of neuronal
and glial progenitors isolated from the septum and striatum of adult rats. These progenitors
are indistinguishable from those isolated from the adult hippocampus and subventricular …
