Journal Article
Gliogenesis in the outer subventricular zone promotes enlargement and gyrification of the primate cerebrum
2019
Overview
The primate cerebrum is characterized by a large expansion of cortical surface area, the formation of convolutions, and extraordinarily voluminous subcortical white matter. It was recently proposed that this expansion is primarily driven by increased production of superficial neurons in the dramatically enlarged outer subventricular zone (oSVZ). Here, we examined the development of the parietal cerebrum in macaque monkey and found that, indeed, the oSVZ initially adds neurons to the superficial layers II and III, increasing their thickness. However, as the oSVZ grows in size, its output changes to production of astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, which in primates outnumber cerebral neurons by a factor of three. After the completion of neurogenesis around embryonic day (E) 90, when the cerebrum is still lissencephalic, the oSVZ enlarges and contains Pax6⁺/Hopx⁺ outer (basal) radial glial cells producing astrocytes and oligodendrocytes until after E125. Our data indicate that oSVZ gliogenesis, rather than neurogenesis, correlates with rapid enlargement of the cerebrum and development of convolutions, which occur concomitantly with the formation of cortical connections via the underlying white matter, in addition to neuronal growth, elaboration of dendrites, and amplification of neuropil in the cortex, which are primary factors in the formation of cerebral convolutions in primates.
