The spatio-temporal timing of the last round of mitosis, followed by the migration of
neuroblasts to the cortical plate leads to the formation of the six-layered cortex that is …

Folding of the cerebral cortex is a fundamental milestone of mammalian brain evolution and
is associated with dramatic increases in size and complexity. New animal models, genetic …

Analysis of data collected on 131 species of primates, bats, and insectivores showed that the
sizes of brain components, from medulla to forebrain, are highly predictable from absolute …

The cerebral cortex of large mammals undergoes massive surface area expansion and
folding during development. Specific mechanisms to orchestrate the growth of the cortex in …

We examined the development of the occipital lobe in fetal monkeys between embryonic
day 37 (E37) and E108 in Nissl-stained and acetylcholine esterase (AChE)-reacted …

Long-term ex vivo live imaging combined with unbiased sampling of cycling precursors
shows that macaque outer subventricular zone (OSVZ) includes four distinct basal radial …

The cerebral cortex, occupying over 70 percent of our brain mass, is key to any
understanding of the workings--and disorders--of the human brain. offering a …

Evolutionary expansion and complexification of the primate cerebral cortex are largely
linked to the emergence of the outer subventricular zone (OSVZ), a uniquely structured …

How does evolution grow bigger brains? It has been widely assumed that growth of
individual structures and functional systems in response to niche-specific cognitive …

Null mutation of the Foxg1 gene causes hypoplasia of the mouse telencephalon and loss of
ventral telencephalic structures. We show that a crucial early requirement for Foxg1 is in the …
