Caption

Gross anatomy and layered architecture of the neocortex during prenatal and postnatal development. Nissl-stained brain sections show early expansion of dividing progenitor cells (pink) followed by later generation of cortical neurons (yellow, orange), paralleling the increased folding or gyrification of the developing cortex.
