Bpoptosis is a term coined in 2004 by Robin Pauc to cover the development, migration and synaptogenesis of the second-generation of specialised neurons that start to develop 4 months after birth in the human brain. The most notable and best researched second-generation cell is the von Economo spindle cells. Although first described by von Economo in his classic work - The Cytoarchitectonics of the Cerebral Cortex - interest in these cells has been renewed with the further research of Esther Nimchinsky, John Allman and Robin Pauc.
