Rostral migratory stream
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rostral migratory stream (RMS) or rostral migratory pathway is a pathway along which neuronal precursors that originated in the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the brain migrate to reach the main olfactory bulb, where they differentiate into interneurons. Neurogenesis has been shown to occur in the SVZ into adulthood (it was previously thought that neurons could not regenerate in the adult brain).
