The cytological organization and the timetable of emergence and dissolution of the transient subplate zone subjacent to the developing visual and somatosensory cortex were studied in a series of…
Neurons in Rhesus Monkey Visual Cortex: Systematic Relation between Time of Origin and Eventual Disposition

- 1 February 1974
Autoradiographic evidence after injection of tritiated thymidine indicates that cell position in the laminae of the monkey visual cortex is systematically related to time of cell orgin. The…

The cytology of the postmitotic migratory granule cell and its relationship to Bergmann glial processes was examined with Golgi staining and electron microscopy in the three cardinal planes in the…
Cytological and quantitative characteristics of four cerebral commissures in the rhesus monkey

- BiologyThe Journal of comparative neurology
- 22 January 1990
The number, types, and distribution of distinct classes of axons and glia in four cerebral commissures of the adult rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) were determined using electron microscopic and…
Synaptogenesis in the prefrontal cortex of rhesus monkeys.

- BiologyCerebral Cortex
- 1994
The finding that synaptic density is relatively stable from early adolescence through puberty (the plateau period) is indicative of the importance, in primates, of a consistent and high synaptic density during the formative years when learning experiences are most intense.
Development of the corpus callosum and cavum septi in man
- P. Rakić, P. Yakovlev
- BiologyThe Journal of comparative neurology
- 1 January 1968
It was concluded that the development of the corpus callosum is preceded by the infolding of the dorsal part of the lamina reuniens of His (1904) in the region of the prospective hippocampus into a median groove, and by fusion of its banks into a massa commissuralis which becomes the bed for corpusCallosum.
Concurrent overproduction of synapses in diverse regions of the primate cerebral cortex.

- 11 April 1986
This isochronic course of synaptogenesis in anatomically and functionally diverse regions indicates that the entire cerebral cortex develops as a whole and that the establishment of cell-to-cell communication in this structure may be orchestrated by a single genetic or humoral signal.
Changes of synaptic density in the primary visual cortex of the macaque monkey from fetal to adult stage
- J. Bourgeois, P. Rakić
- BiologyJournal of Neuroscience
- 1 July 1993
The kinetics of synaptogenesis in the primary visual cortex (Brodmann's area 17) were analyzed by electron microscopy in rhesus monkeys, ranging in age from the 50th embryonic day to 20 years, and the transient phase of high density of synaptic contacts located on dendrospines is shorter in thalamo-recipient layer IV than in either supra- or intragranular layers.
