This SnapShot summarizes current knowledge of mammalian cortical development, with a particular focus on the molecular controls that orchestrate the stepwise decisions leading from multiple types of undifferentiated forebrain progenitors to fully mature projection neurons with correctly-targeted axons and carefully-elaborated dendritic trees, as well as appropriate electrophysiology and gene expression, reflective of precise subtype and area identity.
