Examples

Third, our analyses revealed that the number of neurogenetic origins, around which new areas grew, influenced the correspondence to empirical connectivity (Tables 5 and 6).

As a third factor that determined the spatiotemporal growth trajectory of the cortical sheet, we considered the number of neurogenetic origins.

Independent of this correlation, on a cortical sheet that expands around the origins of neurogenesis, areas with closer neurogenetic time windows tend to be spatially closer as well.

Particularly, a lengthening in the cell cycle along the planar neurogenetic gradient is accompanied by a successive increase in the proportion of progenitor cells differentiating into neurons with each cell cycle.

Morphology

neurogenetic = genetic (semi-transparent) = neuro + gene + tic

The word is formed by adding the scientific prefix neuro- to genetic, but the full term is specialized and may not be fully transparent to all learners.

Etymology

Neurogenetic combines neuro- meaning 'nerve', as in neuron, and genetic, from a root meaning 'birth' or 'origin', as in gene or generate. So neurogenetic describes how genes shape the nervous system and its function.
