Neuronogenesis in the neocortical pseudostratified ventricular epithelium
(PVE) is initiated rostrolaterally and progresses caudo- medially as
development progresses. Here we have measured the cytokinetic parameters
and the fractional neuronal output parameter, Q, of laterally located
early-maturing regions over the principal embryonic days (E12-E15) of
neocortical neuronogenesis in the mouse. These measures are compared with
ones previously made of a medial, late- maturing portion of the PVE.
Laterally, as medially, the duration of the neuronogenetic interval is 6
days and comprises 11 integer cell cycles. Also, in both lateral and medial
areas the length of G1 phase (TG1) increases nearly 4-fold and is the only
cell cycle parameter to change. Q progresses essentially identically
laterally and medially with respect to the succession of integer cell
cycles. Most importantly, from E12 to E13 there is a steeply declining
lateral to medial gradient in TG1. The gradient is due both to the lateral
to medial graded stage of neuronogenesis and to the stepwise increase in
TG1 with each integer cycle during the neuronogenetic interval. To our
knowledge this gradient in TG1 of the cerebral PVE is the first cell
biological gradient to be demonstrated experimentally in such an extensive
proliferative epithelial sheet. We suggest that this gradient in TG1 is the
cellular mechanism for positionally encoding a protomap of the neocortex
within the PVE.
