Neuroblast

A neuroblast is an undifferentiated embryonic cell which develops into a functional neuron. In humans, neuroblasts produced by stem cells in the adult subventricular zone migrate into damaged areas after brain injuries. However, they are restricted to the subtype of small interneuron-like cells, and it is unlikely that they contribute to functional recovery of stratial circuits.
