Development and maturation of cerebral cortex

摘要: The previous volumes in this series have dealt with the mature cerebral cortex. In those many of structurally and physiologically distinct areas cortex, their connections, various types neurons neuroglial cells they contain, functions been considered. present volume contributions focus on development neocortex hippocampus. Chapters describe how migrate cortex to attain ultimate positions, emphasize role played by preexisting pallium or primordial plexiform layer vesicle becomes split invasion that will form cortical plate, mutants which neuronal migration is abnormal provide valuable information about radial glial migration. It also made clear although mechanics hippocampus are similar neocortex, involves some unique features. For example, proliferation dentate gyrus continues well into postnatal life.
