abbr. RGCs, RG cells. Radial glial cells (subventricular radial glial cells), characterized by long radial processes, are specialized cells in the developing nervous system of all vertebrates (for the composition of cells in the subventricular zone see also: Alvarez-Buylla and Garcia-Verdugo, 2002; Doetsch et al, 1997). They present many properties of glial cells and are considered to be the astrocyte precursors performing astrocyte-like functions and subsequently transforming into astrocytes (Schmechel and Rakic, 1979; Voigt, 1989; Tramontin et al, 2003). These cells guide the radial migration of newborn neurons from the ventricular zone to the mantle regions. In the
