Annotation. The primary aim was to analyze the scientific and theoretical material regarding the morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics of the subventricular zone’s structure in the lateral ventricles during postnatal neurogenesis and to determine the prospects for further research. Given that neuronal development takes place in this specific part of the brain throughout the entire period of human ontogenesis, understanding its morphological and histological structure will help to clarify the mechanisms of neurogenesis under normal circumstances as well as under the influence of various physiological or pathological factors, which determines the relevance of this study. 40 sources on this topic were reviewed and selected from the main scientometric databases like Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Knowledge, with the majority of publications coming from the last decade. The state of research related to the morphogenesis and histogenesis of the subventricular zone of the lateral ventricles of the animal brain in postnatal neurogenesis is highlighted, and the ways of further research are determined as a result of the scientific and theoretical analysis of literature sources.
