Abstract
In light of the continuing debate concerning the time of origin of glial cells and in recognition of the fact that recent studies have shown radial glial cells present at earlier developmental stages than was previously thought, we have undertaken a reanalysis of the time course of glial differentiation in the developing neopallium of rat. Since much recent work has been directed at the development of radial glial cells, we have paid special attention to nonradial glial cells. We were particularly interested in determining the precursors of astrocytes, their proliferative capacity, and their contacts with the ventricular and mesenchymal surfaces of brain tissue.
