A restricted period for formation of outer subventricular zone defined by Cdh1 and Trnp1 levels

Abstract

The outer subventricular zone (OSVZ) contains basal radial glial cells (bRGC) involved in cortical expansion in gyrencephalic mammals. Here the authors identify a developmental time window with marked production of bRGCs required to found the OSVZ that is dependent on coincident downregulation of Cdh1 and Trnp1.
