title: Molecular bases of cortico-cerebral regionalization.
abstract: This chapter will focus on molecular mechanisms governing early steps of cortico-cerebral arealization. This is a very complex and intricate field, in which a great number of experimental investigations have been performed and vigorous scientific debates have taken place in recent years. We will try to provide an organic synthesis of this subject, summarizing the main experimental results and their theoretical implications.
