Abstract

What are the mechanisms regulating the orderly buildup of the laminated cerebral cortex during development? In this issue of Neuron, Nakagawa et al. (2019) discovered that Memo1 plays a crucial role by mediating the tiling of the radial glial cell grid.

Keywords: RGC; cerebral cortex; neurodevelopmental disease; neuronal migration; radial glial cell.
