Review - Pierani, A., Cerebral cortex development: From progenitors patterning to neocortical size during evolution

27/02/2009 00:00

This review article details the latest discoveries in the study of the cerebral cortex and its development.  Alessandra Pierani and Marion Wassef discuss how, in order to form functional neuronal networks, distinct classes of cells have to be generated in a precise number.  They also describe how lack of precision might have been instrumental to neocortical evolution in particular.
