Tangential migration of neocortical neurons in early human foetuses.
The aim of the present study is to describe the tangential migration of cortical neurons in early human foetuses aged 9-11 weeks. Histological sections showed that in this early period of development most of the neurons migrate along radial glia, but there is also tangential migration, especially from the lateral eminence.
