Abstract
Neonate rats were injected systemically with thymidine-H3 and killed after different periods of survival. Cell proliferation, migration and transformation in the brain were studied autoradiographically. It was established that cells multiplying in the ependymal and subependymal walls of the olfactory ventricle migrate outward into the olfactory bulb, where they become differentiated into granule cells. These postnatally formed granule cells contribute to the formation of the granular and several other layers of the olfactory bulb. Cells multiplying at a high rate in the wall of the lateral ventricle migrate to the hippocampus and contribute to the formation of the granule cells in the granular layer of the dentate gyrus. Cells multiplying at a high rate in the external and internal granular layers of the cerebellum become differentiated into granule cells, and, to a lesser extent, other types of nerve cells of the cerebellar cortex. Evidence was also obtained of the postnatal origin of many of the granule cells of the cochlear nucleus. Postnatal neurogenesis is restricted to these short-axoned granule cells or microneurons; the long-axoned nerve cells or macroneurons of the brain are formed prenatally.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
