Hes genes regulate size, shape and histogenesis of the nervous system by control of the timing of neural stem cell differentiation.

Abstract excerpt

Radial glial cells derive from neuroepithelial cells, and both cell types are identified as neural stem cells. Neural stem cells are known to change their competency over time during development: they initially undergo self-renewal only and then give rise to neurons first and glial cells later. Maintenance of neural stem cells until late stages is thus believed to be essential for generation of cells in correct...
