Table 1 Markers of cells involved in neurogenesis with corresponding stages of neurogenesis

Marker	Cells	Stage of neurogenesis
Nestin	Neuronal stem cells, radial glia cells, transit amplifying cells	Proliferation, differentiation
GFAP	Neuronal stem cell, mature astrocytes	Proliferation, differentiation
