Adult cortical areas consist of specialized cell types and circuits that support unique higher-
order cognitive functions. How this regional diversity develops from an initially uniform …

The activity of neuronal circuits of the neocortex underlies our ability to perceive the world
and interact with our environment. During development, these circuits emerge from dynamic …

Diverse types of glutamatergic pyramidal neurons mediate the myriad processing streams
and output channels of the cerebral cortex,, yet all derive from neural progenitors of the …

This review covers recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms controlling
neurogenesis and specification of the developing retina, with a focus on insights obtained …

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

Müller glia (MG) are the only glial cell type produced by the neuroepithelial progenitor cells
that generate the vertebrate retina. MG are required to maintain retinal homeostasis and …

For half a century now, the barrel cortex of common laboratory rodents has been an
exceptionally useful model for studying the formation of topographically organized maps …

The cortical hem, a source of Wingless-related (WNT) and bone morphogenetic protein
(BMP) signaling in the dorsomedial telencephalon, is the embryonic organizer for the …

A hundred years after Lhx2 ortholog apterous was identified as a critical regulator of wing
development in Drosophila, LIM-HD gene family members have proved to be versatile and …

In the developing cerebral cortex, sequential transcriptional programs take neuroepithelial
cells from proliferating progenitors to differentiated neurons with unique molecular identities …
