Neural stem and progenitor cells have a central role in the development and evolution of the
mammalian neocortex. In this review, we first provide a set of criteria to classify the various …

During vertebrate development, a wide variety of cell types and tissues emerge from a single
fertilized oocyte. One of these tissues, the central nervous system, contains many types of …

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 …

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

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

The subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricles is the largest neurogenic niche of the
postnatal brain. New SVZ-generated neurons migrate via the rostral migratory stream to the …

Information processing in the cerebral cortex requires the activation of diverse neurons
across layers and columns, which are established through the coordinated production of …

This essay reviews step by step the conceptual changes of the updated tetrapartite pallium
model from its tripartite and early tetrapartite antecedents. The crucial observations in mouse …

Tangential migration is a mode of cell movement, which in the developing cerebral cortex, is
defined by displacement parallel to the ventricular surface and orthogonal to the radial glial …

In previous papers, we proposed that the dorsal attention system's top-down control is
regulated by the dorsal division of the limbic system, providing a feedforward or impulsive …
