Early development of the human brain involves a complex, spatiotemporally organized sequence of processes. Major events include (i) primary neurulation,(ii) prosencephalic development,(iii) neuronal proliferation,(iv) neuronal migration,(v) organizational events, and (vi) myelination events. 1 Knowledge of each event improves our understanding of numerous brain disorders, including spina bifida, holoprosencephaly, microcephaly, and lissencephaly. The organizational events are especially important because they establish the elaborate brain circuitry. Recent evidence has suggested that numerous psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism, epilepsy, and schizophrenia, are likely to be related to altered organizational events. 2 The short review by Luhmann et al. 3 in this issue of the Journal addresses the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the developing cortex in rodents and humans, focusing on the electrophysiology of organizational events. First, the authors briefly review the anatomical development of the characteristic architecture of the mammalian cortex, which involves neurogenesis, neuron migration, apoptosis, synaptogenesis, and myelination. They mention Cajal–Retzius and subplate neurons, which are important for neocortical development. The former are located in the marginal zone and control radial neuronal migration and the latter are found between layer 6 and the white matter (Fig. 1) and are important for the maturation of early neuronal circuits and columnar architecture.Then, the authors mention spontaneous synchronized electrical activity in the developing brain, especially spindle bursts. Subplate neurons play a central role in the generation of spindle bursts. In rodents, spindle bursts resemble many aspects of the delta brush, a characteristic electroencephalogram waveform in human preterm infants (Fig. 2). These early activities occur spontaneously or can be elicited in sensory cortices by stimulation of the sensory periphery. Animal studies suggest that such electrical activity plays a key role in the structural and functional maturation of the cerebral cortex. Finally, the authors describe how changes in the pattern and properties of spontaneous electrical activity may have an immediate effect on cortical development and cause long-term cognitive, neurological, or psychiatric disorders in humans. For example, in animal models, several anesthetics anticonvulsants, alcohol, and hypoxia–ischemia can inhibit spontaneous brain activity, which has deleterious effects on cortical development. Luhmann et al. concluded that “non-genetic, electrical activity-dependent processes have a strong impact on cortical development”. Recently, next-generation sequencing and CRISPR-Cas9 gene engineering have facilitated the generation of mice carrying the same gene mutations as humans, although the consequences of gene mutations might differ between humans and rodents. Three-dimensional organoids derived from human and other primate pluripotent stem cells may be used to investigate human brain development and brain disorders, 4 but they are still models and cannot reproduce sensory evoked spontaneous electrical activity.
