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 …

Since its designation in 1896 as a putative olfactory structure, the olfactory tubercle has
received little attention in terms of elucidating its role in the processing and perception of …

The individual contribution of different progenitor subtypes towards the mature rodent
cerebral cortex is not fully understood. Intermediate progenitor cells (IPCs) are key to …

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 …

The mammalian telencephalon, which comprises the cerebral cortex, olfactory bulb,
hippocampus, basal ganglia, and amygdala, is the most complex and intricate region of the …

Charles Darwin stated,“community in embryonic structure reveals community of descent”.
Thus, to understand how the neocortex emerged during mammalian evolution we need to …

Comparative developmental studies of the mammalian brain can identify key changes that
can generate the diverse structures and functions of the brain. We have studied how the …

Neurons usually migrate and differentiate in one particular encephalic vesicle. We identified
a murine population of diencephalic neurons that colonized the telencephalic amygdaloid …

The consequences of prematurity on brain functional development are numerous and
diverse, and impact all brain functions at different levels. Prematurity occurs between 22 and …

Several neuronal populations orchestrate neocortical development during mammalian
embryogenesis. These include the glutamatergic subplate-, Cajal-Retzius-, and ventral …
