A discrete subtype of neural progenitor crucial for cortical folding in the gyrencephalic mammalian brain

An increase in the diversity of neural progenitor subtypes and folding of the cerebral cortex are characteristic features which appeared during the evolution of the mammalian brain. Here, we show that the expansion of a specific subtype of neural progenitor is crucial for cortical folding. We found...
