Development of the neocortex is the action of the successive migration of the individual neuronal populations in pattern, that the deepest lamina is created at first, the others are developer one by one migrating through the previously formed, all six laminae are developed at the end of migration. Migration disorders are covered cortical heterotopias (nodular, laminar, subcortical), lissencephaly and also polymicrogyria.
The article gives the review of the cortical morphology and individual migration disorders and their magnetic resonance imaging.
