The cerebral cortex constitutes more than half the volume of the human brain and is
presumed to be responsible for the neuronal computations underlying complex phenomena …

Conscious perception in mammals depends on precise circuit connectivity between cerebral
cortex and thalamus; the evolution and development of these structures are closely linked …

Mammalian genomes encode tens of thousands of long-noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which
are capable of interactions with DNA, RNA and protein molecules, thereby enabling a …

The cerebral cortex is composed of billions of morphologically and functionally distinct
neurons. These neurons are produced and organized in a regimental fashion during …

Neuronal abundance and thickness of each cortical layer are specific to each area, but how
this fundamental feature arises during development remains poorly understood. While some …

In this review, we discuss molecular and cellular mechanisms important for the function of
neuronal progenitors during development, revealed by their perturbation in different cortical …

Cell–cell communication is mediated by membrane receptors and their ligands, such as the
Eph/ephrin system, orchestrating cell migration during development and in diverse cancer …

Within the last decade, single-cell analysis has revolutionized our understanding of cellular
processes and heterogeneity across all disciplines of life science. As the transcriptome …

The adult neocortex is composed of several types of glutamatergic neurons, which are
sequentially born from progenitors during development. The extent and nature of progenitor …

During development of the nervous system, molecular signals mediating cell–cell
interactions play critical roles in the guidance of axonal growth and establishment of …
