Instanz: TeilenTeilen:Neuronal Precursor Splits into Two Cell Lineages Earlier than Anticipated | Science AdvancesAndreas Rothe Communications, Events and Science EducationInstitute of Science and Technology Austria05.08.2026 20:00The cerebral cortex is densely packed with different nerve cells that enable us to perceive, think and act. These include the intra-telencephalic projection neurons—IT-PNs for short—which establish connections to other areas of the cerebral cortex, including the opposite brain hemisphere. “With it, daughter cells can be made visible—and beyond that, the entire cell lineages and cell clones can be reconstructed.” So-called radial glial cells were the starting point—neuronal precursor cells from which the projection neurons of the cerebral cortex arise.
