The migration of neurons in the embryo starts in the ventricular zone and proceeds radially towards the outer cortical layers. The first group of neurons to finish their journey will reach the outermost layer, which is the cerebral cortex, and start developing into different types of neurons and forming connections. The basal ganglia, caudate nucleus, and corpus callosum are parts of the brain that develop later in embryonic development and are not involved in the initial migration of neurons from the ventricular zone.
