Subventricular zone

Subventricular zone

Subventricular zone (SVZ) is a paired brain structure situated throughout the lateral walls of the lateral ventricles. Along with the subgranular zone of dentate gyrus, subventricular zone serves as a source of neural stem cells in the process of adult neurogenesis. It harbors the largest population of proliferating cells in the adult brain of rodents [Altman J. Autoradiographic investigation of cell proliferation in the brains of rats and cats. Anat Rec 145: 573–592, 1963.] [Privat A and Leblond CP. The subependymal layer and neighboring region in the brain of the young rat. J Comp Neurol 146: 277–302, 1972] [Smart I. The subependymal layer of the mouse brain and its cell production as shown by radioautography after thymidine-H3 injection. J Comp Neurol 116: 325–347, 1961.] , monkeys [Gould E, Reeves AJ, Fallah M, Tanapat P, Gross CG, and Fuchs E. Hippocampal neurogenesis in adult Old World primates.

Neurosci Res 37: 67–78, 2000.] [Eriksson PS, Perfilieva E, Bjork-Eriksson T, Alborn AM, Nordborg C, Peterson DA, and Gage FH. Neurogenesis in the adult human hippocampus. Nat Med 4: 1313–1317, 1998.] . Neurons generated in SVZ travel to the olfactory bulb via the rostral migratory stream, which has until recently remained elusive in humans. [H. Troy Ghashghaei, Cary Lai, E. S. Anton. Neuronal migration in the adult brain: are we there yet? Nature Reviews: Neuroscience, Volume 8: 141-151, 2007] [Human Neuroblasts Migrate to the Olfactory Bulb via lateral Ventricular Extension. Science V. 315, p. 1243 (2007)]

Four cell types have been described in the SVZ:

* ciliated ependymal cells (type E) facing the lumen of the ventricle, whose function is to circulate the cerebrospinal fluid;
* proliferating type A neuroblasts, expressing PSA-NCAM, Tuj1, and Hu, and migrating in "chains" toward the olfactory bulb (OB);
* slowly proliferating type B cells expressing nestin and GFAP, and unsheathing migrating type A neuroblasts
* actively proliferating type C cells or "transit amplifying progenitors" expressing nestin, and forming clusters interspaced among chains throughout the SVZ
