WHAT DOES NEUROBLAST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Neuroblast

A neuroblast is a dividing cell that will develop into a neuron often after a migration phase. Neuroblasts differentiate from neural stem cells and are committed to the neuronal fate. The main difference between a neuroblast and a neuron is the ability to divide; neuroblasts can still undergo mitosis, whereas neurons are postmitotic. Neuroblasts are mainly present as precursors of neurons during embryonic development, however, they also constitute one of the cell types involved adult neurogenesis. Adult neurogenesis is characterized by neural stem cell differentiation and integration in the mature adult mammalian brain. This process occurs in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus and in the subventricular zones of the adult mammalian brain. Neuroblasts are formed when a neural stem cell, which can differentiate into any type of mature neural cell, divides and becomes a transit amplifying cell. Transit amplifying cells are slightly more differentiated than neural stem cells and can divide asymmetrically to produce postmitotic neuroblasts or glioblasts, as well as other transit amplifying cells.
