Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of neurogenesis, the origin and formation of neurons. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a neuron. The process by which nerve cells are generated. This includes the production of neuroblasts and their differentiation into neurons. The process by which nerve cells are generated in the forebrain. This includes the production of neuroblasts from and their differentiation into neurons. The characteristic movement of an immature neuron from germinal zones to specific positions where they will reside as they mature. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a neuroblast. There are at least four stages through which the pluripotent cells of epiblast or blastula become neuroblasts. A change in the morphology or behavior of a neuroblast resulting from exposure to an activating factor such as a cellular or soluble ligand. 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 expansion of a neuroblast population by cell division. A neuroblast is any cell that will divide and give rise to a neuron. 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.
