Ferret-mouse differences in interkinetic nuclear migration and cellular densification in the neocortical ventricular zone

- Neocortical VZ is thicker and more pseudostratified in ferret than in mouse.
- Nuclei are more densely packed in ferret VZ than in mouse VZ.
- Averaged area of endfeet comprising the apical VZ surface is smaller in ferret.
- Interkinetic nuclear migration was quantitatively compared using MSD analysis.
- Nucleokinesis to and from the apical surface differs between mouse and ferret.
