Thalamocortical development: how are we going to get there?
The arealization of the mammalian cortex is believed to be controlled by a combination of intrinsic factors that are expressed in the cortex, and external signals, some of which are mediated through thalamic input. Recent studies on transgenic mice have identified families of molecules that are invo...

description | The arealization of the mammalian cortex is believed to be controlled by a combination of intrinsic factors that are expressed in the cortex, and external signals, some of which are mediated through thalamic input. Recent studies on transgenic mice have identified families of molecules that are involved in thalamic axon growth, pathfinding and cortical target selection, and we are beginning to understand how thalamic projections impose cytoarchitectonic differentiation on the developing cortex. By unravelling these mechanisms further, we should be able to increase our understanding of the principles of cortical organization. |
