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.
