Cerebral cortex size differs dramatically between reptiles, birds, and mammals, owing to
developmental differences in neuron production. In mammals, signaling pathways regulating …

Malformations of the human cortex represent a major cause of disability 1 . Mouse models
with mutations in known causal genes only partially recapitulate the phenotypes and are …

Multiciliated cells are abundant in the epithelial surface of different tissues, including cells
lining the walls of the lateral ventricles in the brain and the airway epithelium. Their main role …

Objective: A fine-tuned balance of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) activation is essential for organ
formation, with disturbances influencing many health outcomes. In utero, glucocorticoids …

Multiciliated cells are terminally differentiated, post‐mitotic cells that form hundreds of motile
cilia on their apical surface. Defects in multiciliated cells lead to disease, including …

Basal progenitors (BPs), including intermediate progenitors and basal radial glia, are
generated from apical radial glia and are enriched in gyrencephalic species like humans, …

The neural stem cell niche is a key regulator participating in the maintenance, regeneration,
and repair of the brain. Within the niche neural stem cells (NSC) generate new neurons …

During embryonic development, excitatory projection neurons migrate in the cerebral cortex
giving rise to organised layers. Periventricular heterotopia ( PH ) is a group of aetiologically …

Progressive myoclonus epilepsy ( PME ) of Unverricht–Lundborg type ( EPM 1) is an
autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder with the highest incidence of PME worldwide. …

The mammalian neocortex has undergone remarkable changes through evolution. A
consequence of such rapid evolutionary events could be a trade-off that has rendered the brain …
