Cover: At the onset of cerebral cortical neurogenesis, the first postmitotic cells migrate in a radial fashion out of the germinal ventricular zone neuroprogenitors and form the first recognizable cortical layer, known as the primordial plexiform layer or the preplate. This structure consists of a distinctive population of pioneer neurons that can be recognized immunohistologically by chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG, in red) and the young neuron marker DCX (in green). See A.S. Pawlisz et al., pp. 2441-2455.
