The generation of pyramidal neurons in the mammalian neocortex has been attributed to proliferating progenitor cells within the ventricular zone (VZ). Recently, the subventricular zone (SVZ) has been recognized as a possible source of migratory neurons in brain slice preparations, but the relevance of these observations for the developing neocortex in vivo remains to be defined. Here, we demonstrate that a subset of progenitor cells within the SVZ of the mouse neocortex can be molecularly define ...[more]
