The previous volumes in this series have dealt with the mature
cerebral cortex. In those volumes many of the structurally and
physiologically distinct areas of the cerebral cortex, their
connections, the various types of neurons and neuroglial cells they
contain, and the functions of those cells have been considered. In
the present volume the contributions focus on the development of
the neocortex and hippocampus. Chapters in this volume describe how
the neurons migrate in the cortex to attain their ultimate
positions, and emphasize the role played by the preexisting pallium
or primordial plexiform layer of the cerebral vesicle in the
development of the cerebral cortex. The primordial plexiform layer
becomes split by the invasion of neurons that will form the
cortical plate, and mutants in which the neuronal migration is
abnormal provide valuable information about the role of the radial
glial cells in this migration. It is also made clear that although
the mechanics of development in the hippocampus are similar to
those in the neocortex, the development of the hippocampus involves
some unique features. For example, neuronal proliferation in the
dentate gyrus continues well into postnatal life.
