Abstract
Comparative studies of embryonic cortical developement in all main amniote lineages suggest that architectonic organization is an important, yet reflected, aspect of cortical evolution. Key components of architectonic evolution include the secretion of reelin in marginal zones, by cajal-Retzius-like cells, and response to reelin via receptors and Dab1 in cortical neurons. Mammals stand out by their huge amplification of reelin expression that parallels increase in cortical size.
