text: Radial glial progenitors (RGPs) are responsible for producing nearly all neocortical
neurons. To gain insight into the patterns of RGP division and neuron production,
we quantitatively analyzed excitatory neuron genesis in the mouse neocortex using
Mosaic Analysis with Double Markers, which provides single-cell resolution of
progenitor division patterns and potential in vivo. We found that RGPs progress
through a coherent program in which their proliferative potential diminishes in
a predictable manner. Upon entry into the neurogenic phase, individual RGPs produce
∼8–9 neurons distributed in both deep and superficial layers, indicating a unitary
output in neuronal production. Removal of OTX1, a transcription factor transiently
expressed in RGPs, results in both deep- and superficial-layer neuron loss and
a reduction in neuronal unit size. Moreover, ∼1/6 of neurogenic RGPs proceed to
produce glia. These results suggest that progenitor behavior and histogenesis
in the mammalian neocortex conform to a remarkably orderly and deterministic program.
