A Cholinergic Signaling Pathway Underlying Cortical Circuit Activation of Quiescent Neural Stem Cells in the Lateral Ventricle

Scientists uncovered a signaling pathway activated by the anterior cingulate cortex-subependymal-choline acetyltransferase–positive circuit responsible for the activation and proliferation of quiescent lateral ventricles neural stem cells specifically in the ventral area of the subventricular zone.
