- lots of sub-headings, but no actual text.
- no defined structure to the sequence of sub-headings.
- no research images related to what is an extensively researched topic.
- historic background of key research findings, put our understanding today in perspective.
- Lon list of abnormalities, with no description.

Timeline
Nature article: https://www.nature.com/nrn/journal/v9/n2/full/nrn2252.html
- E10.5-- VZ (ventricular zone) single layer of cells- have feet that attach to cerebral wall and start dividing. Slightly polarized.
- E11.5--cells begin to differentiate (PP/preplate) into “pioneer” neurons and move upward, laying molecular trail for subsequent differentiating neurons
- E13.5--VZ cells form secondary progenitor population in SVZ, PP (preplate pioneer) cells split into 2 zones (MZ and SP)
- MZ and SP cells tell newly differentiated and migrating cells where they are
- E14.5-17.5-- deep layers populated first and then superficial layers later
- The neuron senses the layer it is in and stops- condense in CP (cortical plate)
6 Layers
Layers I, II, III, IV, V, VI (see "Cortical Layer Review" Z5177691 (talk) 22:57, 23 August 2017 (AEST)
Cell Types
http://www.ruf.rice.edu/~lngbrain/Sidhya/
- Radial Glial cells--in developing cerebellum, hippocampus, cortex
- Migrating neurons glump onto radial glial to migrate- move up these RG cells
- RG Cells for migrating neurons that extend from VZ to get to the outer part of the cortex.
- Fibers that neurons use to migrate from VZ to their final destination
- Allows dividing cells (projector neurons)- to migrate not randomly but radially.
- Radial Glial Cells can divide as well→ overall process requires a lot of membrane

-layer grey matter outer surface of cerebrum
-2-4mm thickness
-most anterior (rostral) brain region
-outer zone of neuronal tissue (grey matter) containing neuronal cell bodies
-densely packed in humans with over 10 billion nerve cells (about 10% of all the neurons in the brain)
-where much of the neural activities of the cerebrum takes place
-divided left and right hemispheres by longitudinal fissure
-two hemispheres joined by corpus callosum at midline
-divided into functional areas that serve various sensory, motor and cognitive functions
-subdivisions of layers organizing input and output connectivity of resident neurons
-is folded in larger mammals to increase surface area, important allows addition and evolution of a greater diversity functional areas
-gyrus (gyri)= folds/ ridges
-sulcus (sulci)= groove
Layers
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gray754.png
Layer 1 -outer layer (pial surface)
-molecular layer, few scattered neurons
-mainly extensions of pyramidal neuron apical dentrite tufts
-some spiny stellate cells
-inputs to apical tufts crucial for feedback interactions in cortex in associative learning and attention
Layer 2 -external granular layer
-small pyramidal neurons
-many stellate neurons
Layer 3 -external pyramidal layer
-small and medium sized pyramidal neurons
-non-pyramidal neurons with vertically orientated intracortical axons
-layers 1, 2, 3 main target of interhemisphere corticocortical afferent fibres
-layer 3 main source of cortiocortical efferent fibres
Layer 4 -internal granular layer
-different types stellate and pyramidal neyrons
-main target thalamocortical afferents from thalamus type C neurons and intra-hemipsheric corticocortical afferents
Layer 5 -internal pyramidal layer
-large pyramidal neurons
-give rise to axons leaving cortex and run down to subcortical structures e.g. basal ganglia
-In primary motor cortex of the frontal lobe, this layer contains Betz cells and their axons travel through the internal capsule, the brain stem and the spinal cord forming the corticospinal tract
-which is the main pathway for voluntary motor control
Layer 6 -polymorphic/ multiform layer
-few large pyramidal neurons
-many small spindle like pyramidal and multiform neurons
-sends efferent fibers to thalamus forms exact reciprocal interconnection between thalamus and cortex
-connections are both inhibitory and excitatory
Other info three large surfaces: superolateral surface, medial surface, inferior surface
-surfaces characterised by sulci and gyri
three borders: superomedial border, inferomedial border, inferolateral border
lobes defined by large sulci (fissures)
named according to their relation to bones of skull
1) frontal lobe
2) parietal lobe
3) temporal lobe
4) occipital lobe

A- Disorders due to abnormal proliferation, growth or differentiation of neuroblasts
1-Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD)
-In Focal Cortical Dysplasia, neurons are arranged abnormally in the focal areas of the cerebral cortex. -In all patients who present with seizures, FCD is the cause for about 5-15% of them. -FCD is of two types, Type I and Type II.
2-Hemimegalencephaly
3-Microcephaly
4-Tuberous Sclerosis
B- Disorders due to abnormal neuronal migration
5-Heterotopia
Migration of neurons occurs during the 8th week of development, along radial glial fibers (RGF). RGFs can be damaged due to ischemia, which can be caused by infection resulting from trauma or metabolic errors. RGF damage leads to the migration process arresting at the wrong time, resulting in abnormal or ectopic locations of neurons of the cortex. This condition is known as Heterotopia.
There are two types of heterotopia: 1-Subcortical band heterotopia
2-Periventricular heterotopia
6-Lissencephaly
- undermigration; Classical (Type I) Lisssencephaly
- overmigration;Cobblestone (Type II) lissencephaly
- Muscle-Eye-Brain Disease
- Walker-Warburg Syndrome
Fragile X-Syndrome
- Microlissencephaly
7-Kallmann Syndrome
C- Disorders due to abnormal cortical maturation and organization/folding
8-Polymicrogyria
9-Schizencephaly
