Neural Stem Cell

Self-renewing stem cells found in the adult brain and spinal cord, capable of differentiating into neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes.

Key Functions:

• Generates new neurons and glial cells throughout life.
• Contributes to brain plasticity and repair.
• Involved in neurogenesis and gliogenesis.

Interacting Systems & Components:

• Stem Cell (type of)
• Nervous System (found in)
• Neuron (differentiates into)
• Astrocyte (differentiates into)
• Oligodendrocyte (differentiates into)
