The aim of the study is to describe the differentiation of the cortical plate in human foetuses aged 9-11 weeks. Histological sections showed that in this early period of development the cortical plate is differentiated into two zones. The external zone is composed of vertical columns of cells, which are perpendicular to the cortical surface. The internal zone is wider and consists of irregularly arranged clusters of cells.
