Comparison of specific neurodevelopmental timelines of the neocortex of the GCR, dwarf rabbit and guinea pig neocortex. A Onset and duration of the period of neurogenesis, dendrite formation, axon formation, myelination, and astrocyte formation in the developing GCR (green), dwarf rabbit (red) and guinea pig (blue) neocortex. Data for the period of neurogenesis in the GCR are based on the development of Tbr2 + NPCs in the SVZ (Fig. 1); data for dendrite formation, axon formation, myelination, and astrocyte formation in the GCR are based on immunofluorescence staining (Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 5). Data for dwraf rabbit and guinea pig are obtained from the literature [59]. Dashed lines indicate development after birth. Arrows indicate the respective time of birth (partus). CP, cortical plate. B Relative lengths of duration of the period of neurogenesis, dendrite formation, axon formation, myelination, and astrocyte formation, expressed as percentage of gestation, in the GCR, dwarf rabbit and guinea pig. C Plot of the relationship between the neurogenic period and gestation length, both expressed in absolute days, in the GCR (green), dwarf rabbit (red) and guinea pig (green). The linear regression curve is plotted: y = 0,4231*x + 6,154, P < 0.05. Pearson correlation coefficient r = 0.9986, P = 0.0334
