Abstract:
The rostral migratory stream consists of a large number of cells migrating from the lateral ventricles to the rostral telencephalon, primarily the olfactory bulb. The pathway continually provides neuro- and glioblasts throughout life. The present paper indicates that a considerable number of cells undergo apoptotic cell death en route, even in young (day 3) rats when presumably many vacant sites are still available in the developing brain.
