Figure 1
Figure 1. Two distinct neurogenic programs, differing by (i) the absence (left, mouse) or presence (right, human) of basal progenitors capable of symmetric proliferative divisions and (ii) the duration of neurogenesis (vertical dimension), segregate mammalian species into two principal neuroanatomical groups.
AP, apical progenitor; BP, basal progenitor. (Images of mouse and human brains from brainmuseum.org. Images not to scale.)
