"abnormal post-migration cortical organisation"

Line 5:17 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-migration'.

Line 72:8 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-migrational'.

"This first group of conditions include those due to disorders of neuronal and/or glial proliferation or apoptosis. They can conceptually be further divided into three subgroups; those with abnormally small brain size, those with abnormally large and those with cortical dysgenesis with abnormal cells (neoplastic or non-neoplastic) ^7,8,."

Semicolons

suggestion

"Prior classifications (up to and including 2012) attempted a fairly stringent classification into groups and subgroups⁷. Many conditions, however, did not neatly fit within such a rigid framework. As more evidence for the specific genetic and pathophysiological underpinnings emerges, there has been a move away from such a formal classification. The most recent (2020) classification uses a far more flexible framework, acknowledging the aforementioned three main mechanisms but largely eliminating a formal classification structure; rather it gives an overview and then goes into defining individual conditions⁸."
