Basal Progenitor Morphology and Neocortex Evolution.

open access: yes, 2020
The evolutionary expansion of the mammalian neocortex is widely considered to be a basis of increased cognitive abilities. This expansion is a consequence of the enhanced production of neurons during the fetal/embryonic development of the neocortex ...

Human Cerebral Cortex Cajal-Retzius Neuron: Development, Structure and Function. A Golgi Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2015
The development, morphology and possible functional activity of the Cajal-Retzius cell of the developing human cerebral cortex have been explored herein. The C-RC, of extracortical origin, is the essential neuron of the neocortex first lamina.

Antagonistic interplay between necdin and Bmi1 controls proliferation of neural precursor cells in the embryonic mouse neocortex. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Neural precursor cells (NPCs) in the neocortex exhibit a high proliferation capacity during early embryonic development and give rise to cortical projection neurons after maturation.

Dysregulated nitric oxide signaling as a candidate mechanism of fragile X syndrome and other neuropsychiatric disorders

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2014
A mechanistic understanding of the pathophysiology underpinning psychiatric disorders is essential for the development of targeted molecular therapies.

The enhancer landscape during early neocortical development reveals patterns of dense regulation and co-option. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2013
Genetic studies have identified a core set of transcription factors and target genes that control the development of the neocortex, the region of the human brain responsible for higher cognition. The specific regulatory interactions between these factors,

Neocortical development as an evolutionary platform for intragenomic conflict

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2013
Embryonic development in mammals has evolved a platform for genomic conflict between mothers and embryos and, by extension, between maternal and paternal genomes.

MicroRNA Cluster miR-17-92 Regulates Neural Stem Cell Expansion and Transition to Intermediate Progenitors in the Developing Mouse Neocortex

open access: yesCell Reports, 2013
During development of the embryonic neocortex, tightly regulated expansion of neural stem cells (NSCs) and their transition to intermediate progenitors (IPs) are critical for normal cortical formation and function.

Regulation of thalamocortical axon branching by BDNF and synaptic vesicle cycling

open access: yesFrontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013
During development, axons form branches in response to extracellular molecules. Little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms. Here, we investigate how neurotrophin-induced axon branching is related to synaptic vesicle cycling for ...

Primate neocortex development and evolution: Conserved versus evolved folding.

open access: yes, 2019
The neocortex, the seat of higher cognitive functions, exhibits a key feature across mammalian species-a highly variable degree of folding. Within the neocortex, two distinct subtypes of cortical areas can be distinguished, the isocortex and the ...

Coupling between neurons of the developing rat neocortex [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 1983
We have estimated the prevalence of coupling between neurons of the rat neocortex during postnatal development. Single intracellular injections of the fluorescent dye Lucifer Yellow CH resulted in dye coupling among 70% of neurons from 1 to 4 days of age.
