PNS Precursor Cells in Development and Cancer

  • Chapter
Neural Development and Stem Cells

Part of the book series: Contemporary Neuroscience ((CNEURO))

Abstract

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is comprised of groups of neurons and support cells whose cell bodies lie outside the spinal cord and brain. These peripheral ganglia relay sensory input back to the central nervous system (CNS), where the information is processed and physical responses are generated. The PNS is derived primarily from a population of precursor cells called neural crest cells that arise within the developing CNS but subsequently migrate to the periphery and are highly versatile with respect to the types of derivatives that they form.
