I agree with the view expressed in the target article that the early structural organization of the mammalian neocortex (the primordial neocortical organization) is different from its final one and resembles the more primitive organization of reptilian cortex. During the early development of the neocortex, a distinctly mammalian multilayered pyramidal-cell plate is introduced within a more primitive reptilian-like cortex, establishing simultaneously layer I (marginal zone) above it and layer VII (subplate zone) below it. This multilayered pyramidal-cell plate represents a recent mammalian innovation in the evolution of the cerebral cortex of vertebrates. Hence, the term neocortex is preferable to isocortex.

The organization of chromatin in neuronal and glial nuclei isolated from different brain regions of rats during development was studied by digestion of nuclei with micrococcal nuclease. A short chromatin repeat length (approx. 176 base-pairs compared with that of glial nuclei from foetal cerebral cortex (approx. 200 base-pairs) was present in hypothalamic neurons throughout the ages studied, which was similar to the repeat length of cortical neurons from 7- and 25-day-old animals (approx. 174 base-pairs). Whereas in cortical neurons the chromatin repeat length shortened from approx. 200 base-pairs in the foetus to approx. 174 base-pairs in the first postnatal week, the short chromatin repeat length of hypothalamic neurons was already present 2 days before birth, indicating that hypothalamic neurons differentiate earlier than cortical neurons during brain development.
