Abstract

The accumulation of cells within the cortical plate was studied in ferrets at two developmental ages. A survey method based on the presumed radial organisation of cortical neuron production was used to sample variations in cell production along the rostrocaudal and laterodorsal axes of the brain. The resulting cell counts confirmed the presence of a gradient of cortical plate formation, with a rostrolateral focus. These findings were discussed in relation to some recent teratological studies on brain development in ferrets, where there has been a lack of normative data.

When the autoradiographic method is applied to tissues of animals killed serially, one can determine the time and place of origin of cells, their route and rate of migration, and their ultimate fate.

It has been demonstrated that the structural organization of the mammalian neocortex undergoes a series of fundamental transformations in the course of its early embryonic development and new ideas concerning the origin, the embryonic development, and the phylogenetic evolution of the mammal cerebral cortex are proposed.

Cells that took up tritiated thymidine at various periods of intrauterine and early infant life in the periventricular proliferative zone and migrated to form the isocortex in the rat were tracked autoradiographically in series of stages to characterize their movements.

The distribution of cells of different labelling intensities in the anterior forebrain of adult mice injected with tritiated thymidine at daily intervals during prenatal life was determined by mapping the location of labelled cells on enlarged photographs of autoradiographed sections.

The histogenesis of the isocortical segment of the lateral telencephalic wall at the coronal level of the interventricular foramen was studied in mice and was interpreted as the result of radial units of similar productive history entering and completing the histogenetic sequence at successively later times along a lateromedial gradient.

The present study plots the history of this front of neuron production across the surface of the developing cerebral vesicle in the ferret and interprets the resulting maps of cortical development stages in terms of a unified growth model that links the radial and tangential aspects of neurons production.
