Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The development of the cerebral cortex is controlled by a combination of intrinsic genetic factors and extrinsic inducing factors. While genetic factors determine the initial identity of neural progenitor cells, extrinsic signals from neighboring cells and the environment guide their differentiation into specific cortical layers and cell types. Studies have shown that disrupting either intrinsic or extrinsic factors can lead to abnormalities in cortical development and function.
