Novel IgCAM, MDGA1, expressed in unique cortical area- and layer-specific patterns and transiently by distinct forebrain populations of Cajal-Retzius neurons.

The laminar and area patterning of the mammalian neocortex are two organizing principles that define its functional architecture. Members of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily of cell adhesion molecules influence neural development by regulating cell adhesion, migration, and process growth. Here we describe the dynamic expression of the unique Ig-containing cell adhesion molecule, MAM domain-c...

International Portfolio Diversification at Industry Level within South-East Asian Stock Markets

The issue of financial integration, at the country level, is a well-documented phenomenon in the area of International Portfolio Diversification (IPD). Despite the increasing degree of financial integration, it is important to investigate the global integration at industry level to capture the potential benefits of IPD. Thus, this study attempts to evaluate the potential advantages of IPD for i...

Synaptic patterns on different cell types in the different laminae of the cat visual cortex. An electron microscope study.

To adequately describe the circuitry underlying specific cortical activity, it is essential to specify the exact termination of cortical afferents and the detailed connections of intracortical neurons with respect to each other and to the cells whose axons will finally leave the cortical area under consideration. There can be no doubt that electron microscope studies of degenerating terminals a...

The avian 'prefrontal cortex' and cognition.

Both mammals and birds can flexibly organize their behavior over time. In mammals, the mental operations generating this ability are called executive functions and are associated with the prefrontal cortex. The corresponding structure in birds is the nidopallium caudolaterale. Anatomical, neurochemical, electrophysiological and behavioral studies show these structures to be highly similar. The ...

The Many Layers of Specification and Plasticity in the Neocortex

In this issue of Neuron, Li et al. (2013) show that transgenically eliminating thalamocortical neurotransmission disrupts the formation of barrel columns in the somatosensory cortex and cortical lamination, providing evidence for the importance of extrinsic activity-dependent factors in cortical development.
