The Golgi apparatus in polarized neuroepithelial stem cells and their progeny: Canonical and noncanonical features

Neurons forming the central nervous system are generated by neural stem and progenitor cells, via a process called neurogenesis (Gö}tz and Huttner, Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol, 6:777--788, 2005). In this book chapter, we focus on neurogenesis in the dorsolateral telencephalon, the rostral-most region of the neural tube, which contains the part of the central nervous system that is most expanded in mammals (Borrell and Reillo, Dev Neurobiol, 72:955--971, 2012; Wilsch-Br{äuninger et al., Curr Opin Neurobiol 39:122--132, 2016). We will discuss recent advances in the dissection of the cell biological mechanisms of neurogenesis, with particular attention to the organization and function of the Golgi apparatus and its relationship to the centrosome
