A Three-dimensional reconstruction of postmitotic neurons migrating along radial glial fibers, based on electron micrographs of semi-serial sections of the monkey fetal cerebral cortex with permission from Rakic [56]. B Representation of the radial unit hypothesis based on Rakic [33] with permission from Silver et al. [396]. C Illustration of the dynamics of major developmental events and diversity of progenitors involved in the development of primate cerebral neocortex based on studies of Rakic, with permission from Silver et al. [396].
