The development of the cerebral cortex, known as corticogenesis is the process during which the cerebral cortex of the brain is formed as part of the development of the nervous system of mammals including its development in humans.

Cerebral cortex and cerebellar cortex both vary enormously across species in their size and complexity of convolutions. We discuss the development and evolution of cortical structures in terms of anatomy and functional organization.

The view of brain development that has emerged from the developmental neurobiology literature presents both challenges and opportunities to psychologists seeking to understand the fundamental processes that underlie social and cognitive development, and the neural systems that mediate them.

The development of the cerebral cortex refers to the process through which the anatomy, function, and behavior of the brain are shaped, involving both genetically encoded intrinsic cues and sensory activity-generated extrinsic cues.

Development of the cerebral cortex involves an intricate sequence of genetically regulated steps that is orchestrated by transcription factors. The nature and size of cortical regions is regulated by secreted molecules, such as Bmp, Fgf, RA, Shh and Wnt, often produced by patterning centers.

3 天之前 · In development, lamination occurs in an "inside-out" sequence earlier inside and later born neurons outside. The cortex is divided into areas which serve distinct functions including motor, sensory and cognitive processing.

2017年11月30日 · The cerebral cortex is a complex structure that contains different classes of neurons distributed within six layers and regionally organized into highly specialized areas. Cortical layering arises during embryonic development in an inside-out manner as forebrain progenitors proliferate and generate distinct waves of interneurons and projection ...

2019年8月21日 · The papers summarise the various aspects of human cerebral cortical development from the earliest stages of neurogenesis, to neuronal migration, differentiation and circuit assembly. Gliogenesis, vascular development and barrier functions are also featured in some of the publications.
