10.20.20 " Development of a Brain Neural Stem Cell Niche: Implications for Fetal-Onset Hydrocephalus", Dr. Joanne Conover

Distinguish the unique characteristics of the human ventricular stem cell niche from those of rodents and non-human primates.Explain how the ependymal epithelial lining of the brain’s ventricular system is generated during fetal and post-natal development and the critical functions it performs.Describe how fetal-onset hydrocephalus impacts the brain’s stem cell niche and thereby affects both ependymogenesis and neurogenesis in the developing fetal and neonatal brain.
