Abstract

How is the astonishing diversity of cortical neurons specified? In this issue of Cell Stem Cell, Ozair et al. (2018) leverage hPSC neural differentiation to show that projection neurons undergo prolonged sojourns in the subplate before migrating to deep layers, suggesting that pausing in the subplate may enable integration of intrinsic and extrinsic cues during postmitotic fate refinement.
