The complete elimination of a transient superficial population of neurons, and associated immature circuits, is required for the emergence of functional properties in the mature cerebral cortex.

Two intrinsic factors converge to govern the differentiation and integration of distinct characteristics of the hippocampus in mice.

A useful single-cell resource provides the prenatal macaque different cell types’ gene expression profiles in the parietal cerebral cortex lobe.

Hippocampome.org is an online resource that provides free human- and machine-readable access to the comprehensive property-based classification of hippocampal neurons from 14,000 pieces of published experimental evidence.

Acute one-hour treatment of Pik3ca mutant mice with a novel anti-epilepsy drug suppresses seizures despite continued developmental brain dysmorphology, promising a new therapeutic strategy for patients with intractable pediatric epilepsy.

Glutamate cotransmission from a subset of cortical GABAergic interneurons can promote network hyperexcitability.

The medial entorhinal cortex is important for spatial memory formation and matures from dorsal, where smaller spatial-scales are represented, to ventral, where larger spatial-scales are represented.

LIM-homeodomain transcription factor Lmx1a co-regulates multiple developmental processes in the cortical hem, a major signaling center necessary for hippocampus formation in the mammalian brain.

Dynamic local microenvironments in Drosophila facilitate axonal projection direction transitions in the absence of clear landmarks.

In the developing mouse, the regional distribution of neuronal apoptosis in the primary motor cortex and primary somatosensory cortex is controlled by sensory-driven and intrinsic electrical activity patterns.
