The process by which glial cells are generated. This includes the production of glial progenitors and their differentiation into mature glia. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of neurogenesis, the origin and formation of neurons. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of neurogenesis, the origin and formation of neurons. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of neurogenesis, the origin and formation of neurons. The process by which nerve cells are generated. This includes the production of neuroblasts and their differentiation into neurons. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a cell over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of an organismal system over time, from its formation to the mature structure. A system is a regularly interacting or interdependent group of organs or tissues that work together to carry out a given biological process. The process whereby relatively unspecialized cells, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells, tissues, or organs of the mature organism or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of nervous tissue over time, from its formation to its mature state. Generation of cells within the nervous system.
