The six-layered neocortex permits complex information processing in all mammalian species. Because its homologous region (the pallium) in nonmammalian amniotes has a different architecture, the ability of neocortical progenitors to generate an orderly sequence of distinct cell types was thought to have arisen in the mammalian lineage. This study, however, shows that layer-specific neuron subtypes do exist in the chick pallium. Deep- and upper-layer neurons are not layered but are segregated in distinct mediolateral domains in vivo. Surprisingly, cultured chick neural progenitors produce multiple layer-specific neuronal subtypes in the same chronological sequence as seen in mammals. These results suggest that the temporal sequence of the neocortical neurogenetic program was already inherent in the last common ancestor of mammals and birds and that mammals use this conserved program to generate a uniformly layered neocortex, whereas birds impose spatial constraints on the sequence to pattern the pallium. Display omitted Display omitted ► Layer-specific neuron subtypes of the mammalian neocortex exist in the chick pallium ► Deep- and upper-layer neurons are generated by distinct progenitors in chick in vivo ► The layer-specific neurons are sequentially generated by common progenitors in vitro ► Neocortical neurogenetic program existed before the emergence of layer structure Suzuki et al. find that “layer-specific” neuron subtypes typical of mammalian neocortex are arranged mediolaterally in the chick pallium. Their results indicate that mammalian neocortical and chick pallial progenitors use the same temporally ordered neurogenetic program to generate subtype-specific progeny, but chick pallial output is spatially constrained by developmental patterning.
