The paper shows that Protocadherin 8 and Dbx1 interact bidirectionally to regulate cerebral cortex development through changes in neuronal identity and polarity.

The paper investigates the role of P73+ Cajal-Retzius cells and Reelin in cortical morphogenesis, finding that CRs-derived Reelin is essential for radial migration arrest, while CRs also have Reelin-independent functions in hippocampal progenitor proliferation and vessel remodelling.

The paper identifies a gene regulatory network involved in multiciliation that is repurposed in the fate specification of Cajal-Retzius neurons, leading to distinct cellular outcomes.

The paper shows Dbx1-expressing progenitors in the olfactory epithelium contribute to multiple neuronal lineages, revealing unexpected diversity in their neurogenic potential.

This study uses single-cell RNAseq to analyze progenitor and neuronal diversity in the developing mouse cerebral cortex, revealing how spatial and temporal factors contribute to neuronal fate acquisition.

This study functionally characterizes RELN missense mutations in both recessive and dominant neuronal migration disorders, showing a genotype-phenotype correlation.
