TL;DR: Subtractive bulk ventral and dorsal forebrain deletions of Egfr uncovered significant and permanent decreases in oligodendrogenesis and myelination in the cortex and corpus callosum, and a regenerative population of gliogenic progenitors in the mouse forebrain may compensate for the missing EGFR-dependent dorsal glia in the bulk Egfr-deleted forebrain.

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays a role in cell proliferation and differentiation during healthy development and tumor growth; however, its requirement for brain development remains unclear. Here we used a conditional mouse allele for
