The neocortex is a region of the brain that processes all sensory inputs creating appropriate behavioral responses. It is subdivided into functional areas, each with a specific cytoarchitecture, gene expression pattern and connectivity profile. The organization into areas is pre-patterned by the action of areal patterning genes, and subsequently refined by sensory evoked activity. In this study, I have first investigated whether early areal patterning is committed in progenitor and/or post-mitotic cells, and then assessed whether spontaneous neuronal activity is required in establishing correct connectivity between the neocortex and the thalamus, the principal relay station of peripheral sensory inputs. With the help of a series of transgen...
