Subplate neurons have an essential role in cortical circuit formation. They are among the
earliest formed neurons of the cerebral cortex, are located at the junction of white and grey …

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

All forms of locomotion are repetitive motor activities that require coordinated bilateral
activation of muscles. The executive elements of locomotor control are networks of spinal …

In a classic model of mammalian brain formation, precursors of principal glutamatergic
neurons migrate radially along radial glia fibers whereas GABAergic interneuron precursors …

GABA-containing (GABAergic) interneurons comprise a very heterogeneous group of cells
that are crucial for cortical function. Different classes of interneurons specialize in targeting …

Neuronal migration in the cortex is controlled by the paracrine action of the classical
neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA. Glutamate controls radial migration of pyramidal …

Previous studies of macaque and human cortices identified cytoarchitectonically distinct
germinal zones; the ventricular zone inner subventricular zone (ISVZ), and outer …

Glutamatergic neurons of the mammalian cerebral cortex originate from radial glia (RG)
progenitors in the ventricular zone (VZ). During corticogenesis, neuroblasts migrate toward …

The evolutionary origin of the six-layered mammalian neocortex has been controversial.
New data on genes with layer-specific expression in mammalian cortex have found an …

The first wave of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (firstOPCs) and most GABAergic
interneurons share common embryonic origins. Cortical firstOPCs are thought to be …
