MULTIPLE ROLES FOR OLIG2 IN THE HINDBRAIN: OLIGODENDROCYTE AND ABDUCENS MOTOR NEURON SPECIFICATION AND FACIAL MOTOR NEURON MIGRATION

In the spinal cord, most oligodendrocytes, the myelinating cell type of the CNS, and motor neurons arise from common, ventral, olig2-expressing precursors called pMN cells. In the hindbrain, the degree to which motor neurons and oligodendrocytes share common origins and, consequently, are specified...
