Lateral Ventricle Neural Stem Cells is an important cell type in the neurobiology of neurodegenerative diseases. This page provides detailed information about its structure, function, and role in disease processes.
The lateral ventricle neural stem cells (NSCs) are located in the subventricular zone (SVZ) lining the lateral ventricles. These cells continuously generate new neurons that migrate to the olfactory bulb via the rostral migratory stream.
The SVZ is located along the lateral wall of the lateral ventricles, between the ependymal layer and the striatum.
