Layer I, which plays an important role in the development of the
cerebral cortex, expands in size and diversity in primates. We found
that, unlike in rodents, in the macaque monkey, neurons of this layer
are generated during the entire 2 month period of corticogenesis,
within the middle of the 165-d-long gestation. The large, classical
Cajal-Retzius cells, immunoreactive to reelin and calretinin but not
to GABA, are generated first [embryonic day 38 (E38)-E50], with the
peak of [3H]thymidine
([3H]TdR) labeling at E43. Ultrastructural
analysis revealed that processes of these cells form a stereotyped,
rectangular network oriented parallel to the pial surface. Genesis of
smaller, GABAergic neurons begins slightly later (E43), reaches a peak
of [3H]TdR labeling between E54 and E70, and
continues until the completion of corticogenesis (E94). These
late-generated layer I cells are imported from outside sources such as
the olfactory primordium and ganglionic eminence and via a massive
subpial granular layer that may also supply some GABAergic interneurons
to the subjacent cortical plate. The ratio of large-to-small layer I
neurons changes differentially, indicating that each class is produced
and/or eliminated at a different rate and suggesting that their roles in primates are diverse.
