During cortical development, the identity of major classes of long-distance projection
neurons is established by the expression of molecular determinants, which become …

The molecular linkage between neocortical projection neuron subtype and area
development, which enables the establishment of functional areas by projection neuron …

Here we review the mechanisms that determine projection neuron identity during cortical
development. Pyramidal neurons in the mammalian cerebral cortex can be classified into …

Generation of distinct cortical projection neuron subtypes during development relies in part
on repression of alternative neuron identities. It was reported that the special AT-rich …

Molecular controls over the development of the exceptional neuronal subtype diversity of the
cerebral cortex are now beginning to be identified. The initial subtype fate decision early in …

The mammalian neocortex is parcellated into anatomically and functionally distinct areas.
The establishment of area-specific neuronal diversity and circuit connectivity enables distinct …

A unique combination of transcription factor expression and projection neuron identity
demarcates each layer of the cerebral cortex. During mouse and human cortical …

The acquisition of distinct neuronal fates is fundamental for the function of the cerebral
cortex. We find that the development of subcerebral projections from layer 5 neurons in the …

We are only just beginning to catalog the vast diversity of cell types in the cerebral cortex.
Such categorization is a first step toward understanding how diversification relates to …

Satb2 is a DNA-binding protein that regulates chromatin organization and gene expression.
In the developing brain, Satb2 is expressed in cortical neurons that extend axons across the …
