Radial glial cells in the adult dentate gyrus: what are they and where do they come from?

Open access

Abstract

Adult neurogenesis occurs in the dentate gyrus in the mammalian hippocampus. These new neurons arise from neural precursor cells named radial glia-like cells, which are situated in the subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus. Here, we review the emerging topic of precursor heterogeneity in the adult subgranular zone. We also discuss how this heterogeneity may be established during development and focus on the embryonic origin of the dentate gyrus and radial glia-like stem cells. Finally, we discuss recently developed single-cell techniques, which we believe will be critical to comprehensively investigate adult neural stem cell origin and heterogeneity.

  • The process by which newly generated neurons in normal development are incorporated into the granular cell layer is well established and involves expression of specific markers and development of defined neuronal morphology.

    “The process by which newly generated neurons in normal development are incorporated into the granular cell layer is well established and involves expression of specific markers and development of defined neuronal morphology24,26,34,35.”

    From Therapeutically viable generation of neurons with antisense oligonucleotide suppression of PTB (2021) · cites this paper as [26]

    The ‘Classic homogeneous radial glia-like cell population model’ section describes adult-born neuroblasts expressing DCX, developing a bipolar shape, migrating into the granule cell layer, and maturing into Prox1-positive neurons. The ‘Origin of adult neural stem cells’ section describes markers during embryonic development, but does not establish the same marker-and-morphology sequence for neurons incorporated during normal development. The claim blends the paper’s adult neurogenesis account with its developmental account. (LLM, conf=0.82)

  • Radial glial cells, stem cell precursors, and astrocytes all express GFAP and are found in the dentate gyrus.

    “Radial glial cells, stem cell precursors, and astrocytes - all reported to express GFAP (reviewed in ref.26) - are found in the dentate gyrus2,27,28.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
