Genetics of Patterning the Cerebral Cortex (IMAGE)
Caption
In the brains of normal mice, the six-layered neocortex-indicated by the red marker and shown in the upper right corner-is located adjacent to the three-layered olfactory cortex-indicated by the bright green marker, which also labels layer 5 of the neocortex. If the Lhx2 is missing during a critical period, the neocortex is transformed into olfactory cortex.
