Neurons of the cortical subplate display evidence of cell death, although a significant population survives to the mature brain. The present study examined different populations of neurons to determine if the loss of cells was specific for a particular cell type. Immunocytochemical procedures for neurons expressing GluR2/3, GAD, or NPY, were used on tissue sections taken from animals at gestational day 18 to postnatal day 21. The rate of loss of labeled cells was similar for all groups of neurons. Thus, these data reveal no evidence that the loss of subplate neurons is specific to any major cell type.

Single cell genomics has revolutionized our understanding of neuronal cell types. However, scalable technologies for probing single-cell connectivity are lacking, and we are just beginning to understand how molecularly defined cell types are organized into functional circuits. Here, we describe a protocol to generate high-complexity barcoded rabies virus (RV) for scalable circuit mapping from tens of thousands of individual starter cells in parallel.

Early development of the human fetal cerebral cortex involves a set of precisely coordinated molecular processes that remains rather underexplored. Previous studies indicate that the laminar identity and the molecular specification of cortical neurons driven by genetic programming, as well as associated histogenetic events begin during early fetal development. Our recent study discovered unique regional cytoarchitectonic features in the developing human frontal lobe, including migratory waves of postmitotic neurons in the dorsal frontal cortex and the "double plate" feature in orbitobasal cortex (Kopić et al.

The first 1000 days of life are of paramount importance for neonatal development. Premature newborns are exposed early to the external environment, modifying the fetal exposome and leading to overexposure in some sensory domains and deprivation in others. The resulting neurodevelopmental effects may persist throughout the individual's lifetime.

The expansion of neural progenitors and production of distinct neurons are crucial for architectural assembly and formation of connectivity in human brains. Subplate neurons (SPNs) are among the firstborn neurons in the human fetal cerebral cortex, and play a critical role in establishing intra- and extracortical connections. However, little is known about SPN origin and developmental lineages.

Specific spatiotemporal patterns of the normal glial differentiation during human brain development have not been thoroughly studied. Immunomorphological studies on postmortem material have remained a basic method for human neurodevelopmental studies so far. The main problem for the immunohistochemical research of astrogliogenesis is that now there are no universal astrocyte markers, that characterize the whole mature astrocyte population or precursors at each stage of development.
