Simulation scheme of the dynamic of a neuroprogenitor cell. The event-based simulation traces the fate of a newborn, BrdU-labeled cell (green icon). Assuming that we have computed the numbers of cells in different stages of the neurogenic cascade at the moment of BrdU injection (t = 0), we trace the fate of BrdU labeled cells at unit time points by recording their behaviors. Briefly, a series of random numbers are generated for the random times for which labeled cells stay in particular stages and for the probability of the cells transiting to the next stage, until the cells die (red icon) or become a mature neuron (yellow icon)
