The size of the cerebral cortex increases dramatically across amniotes, from reptiles to great
apes. This is primarily due to different numbers of neurons and glial cells produced during …

The time that it takes the brain to develop is highly variable across animals. Although staging
systems equate major developmental milestones between mammalian species, it remains …

During neocortex development, cortical projection neurons (PN) are sequentially produced
and assemble into circuits underlying our interactions with the environment. Cortical PN are …

The development of precise neural circuits in the brain requires spontaneous patterns of
neural activity prior to functional maturation. In the rodent cerebral cortex, patchwork and …

The mammalian neocortex comprises an enormous diversity regarding cell types,
morphology, and connectivity. In this work, we discover a post-transcriptional mechanism of …

The corpus callosum (CC) is a white‐matter tract that comprises hundreds of millions of
axons and safeguards most of the interhemispheric transfer of information in the brain of …

Satb2 is a transcription factor with functional and regulatory mechanisms, and post-
translational modifications highly conserved in mammals. However, although its distribution …

The development of neural circuits in the brain is initiated by molecular signals and then
sculpted by neural activity. In the rodent cerebral cortex patchwork and wave patterns of …

The neocortex is unique to mammals and so, for evolutionary studies, researchers have
compared eutherians and marsupials. A new paper in Development uncovers key …
