Differentiation of the cortical plate in early human foetuses
Folia Morphol 2002;61(4):233-236.
Abstract
The aim of the study is to describe the differentiation of the cortical plate in human
foetuses aged 9-11 weeks. Histological sections showed that in this early
period of development the cortical plate is differentiated into two zones. The
external zone is composed of vertical columns of cells, which are perpendicular to
the cortical surface. The internal zone is wider and consists of irregularly arranged
clusters of cells.
