Abstract
The mammalian cortex develops in an "inside-out" manner, as neural stem and progenitor cells lining the ventricles build the brain from within. Bifari et al. (2017), in this issue of Cell Stem Cell, find a small set of cortical neurons that appear to originate from radial glia-like progenitors in the meninges, suggesting an outside-in contribution to corticogenesis.
