Introduction
The brain (cerebral cortex) as it is generally recognised. Though the cerebrum includes the cerebral cortex and the subcortical structures (hippocampus, basal ganglia, and olfactory bulb). The adult cerebral cortex like other neural structures has a laminar organisation, the mammalian neocortex consists of six layers, while the reptilian and avian cortices have only three layers (equivalent to mammalian layers I, V and VI). The adult human cerebrum contains about 16,340,000,000 ± 2,170,000,000 (sixteen billion three hundred forty million) neurons and 60,840,000,000 ± 7,020,000,000 other cell types.[2]
A simplified developmental sequence can be described as cell proliferation, cell migration, and finally cortical organization. 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. The lamination process requires a range of different signals including; Reelin (Reln, an extracellular protein), Disabled-1 (Dab1, an intracellular signaling molecule), and Cullin-5 (Cul5, an E3 ubiquitin ligase).
The cortex progenitor cell types are either neuron-restricted or bipotent (neuron-glial) progenitors that generate glial-restricted progenitors at mid- and late neurogenesis.

Development Overview
Neuralation begins at the trilaminar embryo with formation of the notochord and somites, both of which underly the ectoderm and do not contribute to the nervous system, but are involved with patterning its initial formation. The central portion of the ectoderm then forms the neural plate that folds to form the neural tube, that will eventually form the entire central nervous system.

Developmental Overview
Cortical Neurons
[[File:Telencephalon development signals.jpg|thumb|Telencephalon development signals[8]
Cortical layers in a historic drawing by Cajal.
Cajal-Retzius Neurons
Cajal-Retzius (CR) cells are some of the earliest generated cortical neurons arising from restricted domains of the pallial ventricular zone, and then migrate from the borders of the developing pallium to cover the cortical primordium. These early forming neurons then control the radial migration of neurons and the formation of cortical layers. In mice, this has been shown by these cells secreting the extracellular glycoprotein Reelin (Reln) and it has been suggested that these cells also fine tune multiple signaling pathways underlying the regulation of cortical regionalization.[8]
Molecular
![](/embryology/images/thumb/6/6f/Mouse-_adult_cortex.jpg/300px-Mouse-_adult_cortex.jpg)
- Fgfr1 and Fgfr2 - control excitatory cortical neuron development within the entire cerebral cortex.[10]
- Fgfr2 - proper formation of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC).[10]
- MARCKS - (myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate protein) a cellular substrate for PKC modulates radial glial placement and expansion.[11]
- MicroRNA - noncoding RNAs that regulate mRNA expression, highly expressed during development.[12][13]
Corpus Callosum
The corpus callosum is the area of the brain which connects the two cerebral hemispheres. Maximum increase in thickness and width of the corpus callosum occurred between 19 and 21 weeks' gestation.[14]
Human Timeline:
- 74 days - callosal axons appear.
- 84 days - subdivisions of the genu and splenium can be identified.
- 115 days - adult morphology is seen.
Agenesis of Corpus Callosum
Agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) is a partial or complete absence of the corpus callosum, a rare cerebral malformation.

Hemimegalencephaly
Increased proliferation
Heterotopia
Ectopic migration
Lissencephaly
A malformations derived from abnormal neuronal migration leading to agyria (convolutions of the cerebral cortex are not fully formed) and pachygyria (convolutions of the cerebral cortex unusually thick ).
Pachygyria (Greek, pachy = "thick")
Microlissencephaly
Decreased proliferation
Polymicrogyria
Abnormal organization, numerous small gyri and a thick disorganized cortical plate lacking normal lamination, disruption of microtubule-based processes underlies a large spectrum of neuronal migration.[16]
Schizencephaly
Abnormal organization
