Astrocytes have many roles within the brain parenchyma, and a subpopulation restricted to
germinal niches functions as neural stem cells (NSCs) that produce various types of …

The cerebral cortex is a cellularly complex structure comprising a rich diversity of neuronal
and glial cell types. Cortical neurons can be broadly categorized into two classes …

Adult neural stem/progenitor (B1) cells within the walls of the lateral ventricles generate
different types of neurons for the olfactory bulb (OB). The location of B1 cells determines the …

Cortical GABAergic inhibitory interneurons have crucial roles in the development and
function of the cerebral cortex. In rodents, nearly all neocortical interneurons are generated …

This review will focus on early aspects of cortical interneurons (cIN) development from
specification to migration and final positioning in the human cerebral cortex. These …

Neural stem cells (NSCs) in the prenatal neocortex progressively generate different
subtypes of glutamatergic projection neurons. Following that, NSCs have a major switch in …

Orderly division of radial glial progenitors (RGPs) in the developing mammalian cerebral
cortex generates deep and superficial layer neurons progressively. However, the …

Neurons using gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) as their neurotransmitter are the main
inhibitory neurons in the mature central nervous system (CNS) and show great variation in …

The subplate layer, the deepest cortical layer in mammals, has important roles in cerebral
cortical development. The subplate contains heterogeneous cell populations that are …

The mammalian cerebral cortex shows functional specialization into regions with distinct
neuronal compositions, most strikingly in the human brain, but little is known in about how …
