Currently, not much is known about neuronal positioning and the roles of primary cilia in postnatal neurodevelopment. We show that primary cilia of principal neurons undergo marked changes in positioning and orientation, concurrent with postnatal neuron positioning in the mouse cerebral cortex. Primary cilia of early- and late-born principal neurons in compact layers display opposite orientations, while neuronal primary cilia in loose laminae are predominantly oriented toward the pia.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study emphasizes the importance of culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and continuous care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents during the perinatal period (from pregnancy to two years after birth).
  • - A scoping review identified thirteen toolkits that provide guidance on implementing these care models, with key principles like collaboration, holistic care, and safety, while noting that no single resource covers all three concepts comprehensively.
  • - The research indicates a need for a synthesized toolkit that integrates all three care approaches to better support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families during the crucial first 1000 days.
