title: Functional genomics of early cortex patterning.
abstract: Several lines of evidence have illuminated the fundamental developmental principles involved in establishing and implementing pattern formation in the mammalian neocortex. A recent study has sought to unravel the underlying genetic control of cortex patterning by elucidating the transcriptional profile of discrete neocortical regions.
