Scientific Abstract

During development a small starting population of neural stem cells (NSCs) give rise to all neurons and macroglia cells in the mature central nervous system. Hence, controlling NSC decisions is crucial for the accurate production of the right amount of the desired cell types at the right time and place. Here we aim at determining cellular features that allow a prospective identification of lineage choices and thus will facilitate to reveal the molecular logic of decision-taking processes.
