Sequential generation of layer-specific cortical neurons requires radial glial cells (RGCs) to balance self-renewal and commitment. Here the authors show that RGCs and lineage committed progenitors are defined by distinct cell cycle phases and CYCLIN-B1/2 cooperates with CDK1 to activate Notch and maintain RGCs.
