Neocortical neuronogenesis occurs in the pseudostratified
ventricular epithelium (PVE) where nuclei of proliferative cells
undergo interkinetic nuclear movement. A fraction of daughter cells
exits the cell cycle as neurons (the quiescent, or Q, fraction),
whereas a complementary fraction remains in the cell cycle (the
proliferative, or P, fraction). By means of sequential thymidine and
bromodeoxyuridine injections in mouse on embryonic day 14, we have
monitored the proliferative and postmitotic migratory behaviors of 1 and 2 hr cohorts of PVE cells defined by the injection protocols. Soon
after mitosis, the Q fraction partitions into a rapidly exiting (up to
50 µm/hr) subpopulation (Qr) and a more
slowly exiting (6 µm/hr) subpopulation
(Qs). Qr and
Qs are separated as two distributions on
exit from the ventricular zone with an interpeak distance of ~40
µm. Cells in Qr and
Qs migrate through the intermediate zone
with no significant change in the interpeak distance, suggesting that
they migrate at approximately the same velocities. The rate of
migration increases with ascent through the intermediate zone (average
2-6.4 µm/hr) slowing only transiently on entry into the developing
cortex. Within the cortex, Qr and
Qs merge to form a single distribution most
concentrated over layer V.
