Term Name: forebrain neuroblast differentiation
Synonyms: abventricular progenitor cell differentiation, intermediate progenitor cell differentiation, non-surface dividing progenitor cell differentiation
Definition: The process in which neuroepithelial cells in the neural tube acquire specialized structural and/or functional features of basal progenitor cells, neuroblasts that lose their contacts with the ventricular surface. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate.
