Proliferation of bergmann-glia in the developing rat cerebellum (original) (raw)

Summary

Mitotic cells in the ganglionic layer of the infant rat cerebellum were studied between 3 to 12 postnatal days. The connection of these cells with the radial glial fibers of the primitive molecular layer could be established. On this basis it was assumed that the mitotic cells studied were immature Bergmann-glial cells whose proliferative activity seemed to continue even after the formation of their characteristic radial fibers. This phenomenon might offer an explanation for the divergent views on the generation time of Bergmann-glia.
