INTRODUCTION The cerebral cortex, or neocortex, is critical to key mammalian skills such
as language, sociability, and sensorimotor control. This structure consists of dozens of …

The neocortex, a six-layer neuronal brain structure that arose during the evolution of, and is
unique to, mammals, is the seat of higher order brain functions responsible for human …

INTRODUCTION The cerebral cortex is a cellularly heterogeneous structure whose
neuronal circuits underlie high-order cognitive and sensorimotor information processing …

Interconnectivity between neocortical areas is critical for sensory integration and
sensorimotor transformations,,,,–. These functions are mediated by heterogeneous inter …

INTRODUCTION The diversity of cell types is a defining feature of the neuronal circuitry that
makes up the areas and layers of the mammalian cortex. At a molecular level, the extent of …

Dysfunction of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) ergic circuits is strongly associated with
neurodevelopmental disorders. However, it is unclear how genetic predispositions impact …

Since the beautiful images of Santiago Ramón y Cajal provided a first glimpse into the
immense diversity and complexity of cell types found in the cerebral cortex, neuroscience …

With the discovery of the incredible diversity of neurons, Cajal and coworkers laid the
foundation of modern neuroscience. Neuron types are not only structural units of nervous …

Realizing the full utility of brain organoids as experimental systems to study human cortical
development requires understanding whether organoids replicate the cellular and molecular …

We are only just beginning to catalog the vast diversity of cell types in the cerebral cortex.
Such categorization is a first step toward understanding how diversification relates to …
