The cerebral cortex is the brain's outermost layer. It is responsible for processing motor and
sensory information that support high-level cognitive abilities and shape personality. Its …

The cerebral cortex is an evolutionarily advanced brain structure that computes higher
motor, sensory and cognitive functions. Its complex organization reflects the exquisite cell …

The cerebral cortex is responsible for the higher-order functions of the brain such as
planning, cognition, or social behaviour. It provides us with the capacity to interact with and …

The cerebral cortex is composed of billions of morphologically and functionally distinct
neurons. These neurons are produced and organized in a regimental fashion during …

The emergence of functional neuronal connectivity in the developing cerebral cortex
depends on neuronal migration. This process enables appropriate positioning of neurons …

During development the vast majority of cells that will later compose the mature cerebral
cortex undergo extensive migration to reach their final position. In addition to intrinsically …

Cortical wiring relies on guidepost cells and activity-dependent processes that are thought to
act sequentially. Here, we show that the construction of layer 1 (L1), a main site of top-down …

The cortical patterning principle has been a long-standing question in neuroscience, yet
how this translates to macroscale functional specialization in the human brain remains …

Since the beautiful images of Santiago Ramón y Cajal provided a first glimpse into the
immense diversity and complexity of cell types found in the cerebral cortex, neuroscience …

During histogenesis of the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS), neuronal progenitors
must interact with germinal zone (GZ) niches, differentiate, and morphologically mature, and …
