Shaping the Neocortex: Radial Glia and Astrocytes in Development and Evolution

| Citeline Verified
Abstract The evolutionary expansion of the mammalian neocortex—especially in primates—underpins the emergence of advanced cognitive abilities. This process involved not only increased cortical surface area and neuronal output but also enhanced structural adaptations, such as cortical folding and glial morphological complexity. In this review, we examine the central roles of radial glia (RG) and astrocytes in driving neocortical expansion and evolution.
