[Synapses of the human brain in early prenatal ontogeny].
Synaptogenesis in presumptive cerebral cortex was studied in 7-8 week human embryos by electron microscopy. The first synapses in the regions studied appeared in 7-week embryos. These synapses were detected only in the marginal zone of the developing human cerebral cortex, where they were localized on the somas and processes of the young Cajal-Retzius' neurons. A functional role of early embryonic synaptogenesis in the developing human cerebral cortex is suggested.
