NEUROGENESIS IN THE CEREBRAL CORTEX
Cerebral cortex
1. Developing post-mitotic neuroblasts use special glial cells and their processes as migration paths.
2. Neurons born at early stages migrate to the deepest layers of the cortical plate.
3. Neurons born at later stages form the more superficial layers of the cortex.
4. There are other mechanisms for lateral dispersal.
5. For each region neurons tend to be born before glia.
