RESUMEN
As the main cell type in mammalian cortex, cortical projection neurons play an important role in brain functions, including motor control, sensation and cognition.Projection neurons in the cerebral cortex include excitatory projection neurons and inhibitory projection neurons, of which excitatory projection neurons are the main type.Cortical excitatory projection neurons have various subtypes, and most of them have their own unique developmental rules and molecular markers.Studying the origin and classification of projection neurons in the cerebral cortex is helpful to understand the mechanisms of diseases related to abnormal projection neurons.This paper reviews the origin, classification and function of cortical projection neurons.
