In the hippocampus GABAergic local circuit inhibitory interneurons represent only~ 10–15%
of the total neuronal population; however, their remarkable anatomical and physiological …

Neuronal migration is a fundamental process that governs embryonic brain development. As
such, mutations that affect essential neuronal migration processes lead to severe brain …

The discovery, approximately 15 years ago, that cortical GABA ergic interneurons originate
outside the pallium has revolutionized our understanding of the development of the cerebral …

The upper layers (II–IV) are the most prominent distinguishing feature of mammalian
neocortex compared with avian or reptilian dorsal cortex, and are vastly expanded in …

The regulated proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells before the generation and
migration of neurons in the cerebral cortex are central aspects of mammalian development …

The genetic basis is now known for several disorders of neuronal migration in the
developing cerebral cortex. Identification of the cellular processes mediated by the …

Astrocytes are critical in synapse development, and their dysfunction in crucial
developmental stages leads to serious neurodevelopmental diseases, including seizures …

Pyramidal cells of the cerebral cortex are born in the ventricular zone and migrate through
the intermediate zone to enter into the cortical plate. In the intermediate zone, these …

To realize the potential of microRNAs (miRs) as fine-tuning regulators of embryonic
neuronal differentiation, it is critical to define their developmental function. Mmu-miR-134 …

Methods that combine lineage tracing with cellular transgenesis are needed in order to
determine mechanisms that specify neural cell types. Currently available methods include …
