Several studies have described the potential for embryonic and adult neural stem cells to differentiate into non‐neural cells such as muscle and blood, tissues that are derived from non‐neuroectodermal germ layers. This raised the exciting possibility that these cells possessed a broader range of differentiation potential than originally thought and raised interesting prospects for possible transplantation utilization. However, a number of recent reports have raised questions about whether the phenomena observed actually represented true somatic plasticity. In this review, we critically analyze these studies with the aim of providing some criteria by which future studies that address this important problem may be evaluated. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
