Document Summary

Cell differentiation: the process in which a cell takes on the appearance and characteristics of a neuron, neuronal differentiation occurs before astrocyte differentiation. Regulates fate of cells produced through cell division during development. Can give rise to many different types of tissue. Give rise to: cortical pyramidal neurons, astrocytes. Contains the first cells to migrate away from the dorsal ventricular zone. Provide scaffolding on which the cortex is built. Withdraw their radial process once cortical assembly is complete. Follow the radial path from ventricular zone toward surface of brain. First ones to migrate are destined to become sub-plate. Next ones to migrate form the cortical plate: layer vi first, then v, iv, iii, ii, i. Acts first to repel growing pyramidal cell axons, forcing them to stream away from the pial surface. Specialized to recognize the correct path of growth for neurite elongation. Lamellipodia: leading edge of growth cone, flat sheets of membrane.
