Molecular anatomy of the alligator dorsal telencephalon

This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. Briscoe and Ragsdale demonstrate clear molecular homologs of all major avian dorsal telencephalon cell populations in the brain of the late embryonic Alligator mississippiensis. The alligator cerebral cortex contains putative homologs of neocortical input, output, and intratelencephalic cell types, which are organized into cortical sublayers. These findings are documented in a 12 level atlas.
