TLDR
Current data on the development of the human cerebral cortex is reviewed and the classical model of how the structure that makes us human is formed is updated.
Abstract
In 1970 the Boulder Committee described the basic principles of the development of the CNS, derived from observations on the human embryonic cerebrum Since then, numerous studies have significantly advanced our knowledge of the timing, sequence and complexity of developmental events, and revealed important inter-species differences We review current data on the development of the human cerebral cortex and update the classical model of how the structure that makes us human is formed

Brain injury in premature infants: a complex amalgam of destructive and developmental disturbances

TL;DR: The thesis of this Review is that the encephalopathy of prematurity is a complex amalgam of primary destructive disease and secondary maturational and trophic disturbances.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Basics of Brain Development

TL;DR: This chapter is intended to provide an overview of some very basic principles of brain development, drawn from contemporary developmental neurobiology, that may be of use to investigators from a wide range of disciplines.

Evolution of the neocortex: a perspective from developmental biology

TL;DR: How novelties that make us human may have been introduced during evolution are described, based on findings in the embryonic cerebral cortex in different mammalian species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcriptional landscape of the prenatal human brain

TL;DR: An anatomically comprehensive atlas of the mid-gestational human brain is described, including de novo reference atlases, in situ hybridization, ultra-high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and microarray analysis on highly discrete laser-microdissected brain regions.

Normal development of brain circuits.

TL;DR: To contextualize the developmental origins of a wide array of neuropsychiatric illnesses, this review describes the development and maturation of neural circuits from the first synapse through critical periods of vulnerability and opportunity to the emergent capacity for cognitive and behavioral regulation, and finally the dynamic interplay across levels of circuit organization and developmental epochs.

Specification of cerebral cortical areas

Pasko Rakic
- 08 Jul 1988 - 
TL;DR: The radial unit model provides a framework for understanding cerebral evolution, epigenetic regulation of the parcellation of cytoarchitectonic areas, and insight into the pathogenesis of certain cortical disorders in humans.

Mode of cell migration to the superficial layers of fetal monkey neocortex.

TL;DR: Golgi and electronmicroscopic methods were used to define the shapes and intercellular relationships of cells migrating from their sites of origin near the ventricular surface across the intermediate zone to the superficial neocortical layers of the parietooccipital region in the brains of 75‐ to 97‐day monkey fetuses.

Cortical neurons arise in symmetric and asymmetric division zones and migrate through specific phases

TL;DR: It is shown here that neurons are generated in two proliferative zones by distinct patterns of division, and newborn neurons do not migrate directly to the cortex; instead, most exhibit four distinct phases of migration, including a phase of retrograde movement toward the ventricle before migration to the cortical plate.

Neurons derived from radial glial cells establish radial units in neocortex

TL;DR: The results support the concept that a lineage relationship between neurons and proliferative radial glia may underlie the radial organization of neocortex.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cell biology of neurogenesis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss how these features change during development from neuroepithelial to radial glial cells, and how this transition affects cell fate and neurogenesis.
