Although sufficient cholesterol supply is known to be crucial for neurons in the developing mammalian brain, the cholesterol requirement of neural stem and progenitor cells in the embryonic central nervous system has not been addressed. Here we ha...

To understand the morphogenetic dynamics of the inner surface of the embryonic pallial (neocortical) wall, we immunohistochemically surveyed the cellular endfeet facing the lateral ventricle and found that the average endfoot area was minimal at e...

The mammalian cerebral cortex develops from proliferative neuroepithelial cells that exhibit a cell cycle-dependent nuclear movement (interkinetic nuclear migration; INM). Pax6 transcription factor plays pivotal roles in various aspects of cortico...

For the understanding of histogenetic events in the three-dimensional brain primordia, direct observation of progenitor cells and young neurons is required. Although slice culture, which is one of the tissue or organ culture methods, effectively p...

Progenitor cells that generate neuron pairs ("pair progenitor cells") are implicated in mammalian cortical development, and their division has been thought to be "symmetric." However, asymmetric growth of two sister neurons generated by the divisi...
