The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a neuron. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a medium spiny neuron residing in the striatum. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a neuron that will reside in the forebrain. The process by which nerve cells are generated. This includes the production of neuroblasts and their differentiation into neurons. The process whereby the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted such that it will develop into a neuron that resides in the forebrain. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires specialized features of a neuron whose cell body resides in the central nervous system. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the forebrain over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The forebrain is the anterior of the three primary divisions of the developing chordate brain or the corresponding part of the adult brain (in vertebrates, includes especially the cerebral hemispheres, the thalamus, and the hypothalamus and especially in higher vertebrates is the main control center for sensory and associative information processing, visceral functions, and voluntary motor functions). The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a neuron that resides in the forebrain, from its initial commitment to its fate, to the fully functional differentiated cell. The process by which nerve cells are generated in the forebrain. This includes the production of neuroblasts from and their differentiation into neurons. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the central nervous system over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The central nervous system is the core nervous system that serves an integrating and coordinating function. In vertebrates it consists of the brain, spinal cord and spinal nerves. In those invertebrates with a central nervous system it typically consists of a brain, cerebral ganglia and a nerve cord. The process by which the cell cycle is halted during one of the normal phases (G1, S, G2, M) in a cell that has been committed to become a neuron that will reside in the forebrain. The process whereby neuroepithelial cells in the neural tube acquire specialized structural and/or functional features of neurons. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate.
