During development, neurons destined for different neocortical layers are sequentially generated. Shen et al. report that this timing is programmed within individual progenitor cells and depends ...

Diverse γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic interneurons provide different modes of inhibition to support circuit operation in the neocortex. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the ...

Neuronal cell types in the brains of birds linked to goal-directed behaviors and cognition are similar to cells in the mammalian neocortex, the large, layered structure on the outer surface of the ...
