What Are the Developmental Aspects of Cortical Layering?
Cortical layering is established during embryonic development through a process called corticogenesis:
1. Proliferation: Neural progenitor cells divide in the ventricular zone. 2. Migration: Newborn neurons migrate along radial glia to their respective layers. 3. Differentiation: Neurons differentiate into specific types and establish connections.
Any disruption in these processes can lead to neurological disorders, emphasizing the importance of proper cortical development.
