Figure 1. Gene expression patterns in the developing cerebral cortex during mid-neurogenesis and early postnatal life.

Figure 1

Summary of the expression patterns of the T-box transcription factor Tbr1, the non-coding RNA Svet1, the cut-like transcription factors Cux-1 and Cux-2, the zinc-finger transcription factors Fezf2 and Ctip2, the chromatin remodeling protein Satb2, and the SRY-box transcription factor Sox5 during embryonic and early postnatal development in the mouse. Note that many of these genes show dynamic expression patterns (particularly in postnatal life) that are not fully summarized here, and that the protein expression patterns of some are more restricted compared to those of the corresponding mRNAs. Abbreviations: MZ, marginal zone; CP, cortical plate; SP, subplate; IZ, intermediate zone; SVZ, subventricular zone; VZ, ventricular zone.
