The paper shows that intermediate progenitors generate projection neuron types in a non-sequential manner, challenging the inside-out model of cortical layering.

The paper uses genetic fate mapping in mice to show how direct and indirect neurogenesis contribute differently to the diversity and connectivity of glutamatergic projection neurons in the cerebral cortex.

The paper develops genetic tools to dissect glutamatergic neuron subpopulations and their developmental trajectories in the cerebral cortex.
